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-Draught for years, in fact 1t is the only liver medicine that does me any good" says MT. L. A. Ragan, a well-known lumberman of this place. When was single, used 1t for headaches, and especially if I get cold and feel feverish, I take a good dose of Black-Draught, and 1t sets me right.
 Since I have been married, have used 1t in my family, and never have found its equal for torpid liver or dis arranged stomach, especially with children. I can recommend Black Draught, and gladly do so."
 Every member of the family occa- sionalty 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 it's duty, gou may suffer with headache, consti- patton, biliousness, indigestion, etc. Unless relief is obtained serious sick ness may result. In it's 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.
 Ask for Thedford's ck-Draught, and insist on the genuine. NC1T

KILL BILL THAT WOULD
 BORROW SCHOOL FUNDS

Special to The News,
 Little Rock, March l,-Ihe senate Monday afternoon killed the House bill by Alexander of Pulaski to oor- row sl5O,OOO from the permanent school fund for use of the penitenuary maintenance. Senators Caldwell and Walls strenuously defended the mea- sure declaring that only by It could the penitentiary be operated on business basis. They insisted that the present financial status ot the penitentiary was due to the poor credit of the institution. The oppon- ents of the bill made their argument that money was being taken away from the poor school children, but proponents of the bill showed them that the school fund could not be used for school purposes and would lie Idle during the period it was needed by the penitentiary commission. The bill was defeated l3 to 16 The Senate also defeated Eenator Bones bill raising the age of consent to IS years and the Smith and Ketcheside bill requiring the Missouri Pacific railroad to erect a brick or stone depot in Altus.

READY TO BUILD Big
JAMAICA DRIVEWAY
Bids to Be Asked for Boulevard
to Rockaway; Will Cost
About $3,030,000.

According to the announcement by
Borough President Connolly sealed bids
Will be received at his office In Long
Island City on Tuesday. October IS, for
the construction of the Cross Bay Boule-
ward from the mainland in the Wood
haven section of Jamaica across ia
naica Bay to the northern shore OF the

ment Is the largest single undertaking
of a public character in the history of
Queens and one Of the largest projected
by the city since consolidation.
The official name of this highway Is
the Jamaica Bay Boulevard. 1t will be
five and half miles in length. the
length between bulkheads being four and
two-tenths miles. The width Is to be 100

constructed consists. according to engi-
neers' estimates. of approximately 1870
feet of Ill and 800 feet of trestle. with
Two lift bridges totallIng 292 feet. The
t'estle will be of concrete piles support
ing slab roadway on reinforced con-
crete beams and garders. The bridges
