Who DID IT?
THE FIRST ABATTORS"

Napoleon had great Anack of
turning from his favorite pastime. OF
re-making the map of Europe to re-
form measures for the benefits Of his
beloved Paris.
One of these innovations was an
abattoir-the worlds first public
aughter-house, erected near the
French capital in 1918. This was
the Little CorporaPs" answer to
complaints that private slaugntering
was an inefficient way of providing
for the Parisians.
Edinburg was the first imitator, in
1851. London followed suit on
June 10, 1855, and about ten years
later the first American abattoir was
erected.

ConstipatiOn'The Father of Many Ills

No one can reasonably hope for good
health unless his bowels move once
each day. When this is not attended
to disorders of the stomach arise.
biliousness, headache. dyspepsia and
piles soon follow. Appendicitis is also
believed to be caused by constipation.
If you would avoid these ailments keep
your bowels regular by taking Cham
berlain'S Tablets when needed. These
tablets produce a gentle movement
of the bowels without any unpleasant
effects-AdV.

St. John Proved Up.
 "A little more than week ago Bob Tomlinson, Louis Robert and Roy St. John left Mena for weeks fishing sn the Ouachita at a point east of Egg ger. The last named came home Sat urday, hut Bob and Louis staid on the jeb, getting home Monday afternoon, and during the early hours of evening ahey gave full evidence of their prow- ~ss as fishermen by distributing be- tween 70 and 75 pounds of mighty fine fisl mostly blue channel catfish.
 And there's a hard luck story, too and no matter what other folks may think or say. these who had fish for dinner Tuesday are prepared to be- beve the story in full.
 After several days fishing a fine lot of catfish had been gathered and placed in a Hive box" In the bunch were two that weighed or s pounds, and 1t was estimated there were 65 pounds in all But little careless mess in fastening the door to the box gave the big ''cats" chance, and they we're able to nose their way against it and escape, which all but 3 or little fellows did
 That was enough to have sent most fishermen home in disgust, but not this bunch, and several families in Mena reioiced that it did not.
 Thanks, awfullyi

TICK ERADICATION
 GOING SPLEND|DLY
Inspector Grady Hand Reports Much Satisfaction in All Districts Save
 Along State Line West of Cove and Vandervoort.

Grady Hand, chief inspector in the tick eradication work in Polk county, reports that, with single exception, the various districts are doing splen- did work in dipping cattle-and the pestiferous ticks.
 The single exception is in that ter ritory along the Oklahoma line west of Cove and Vandervoort.
 In the Cherry Hill-Opal district, where last year there was much trou- ble. all vats have been rebuilt save one, and the patrons of that vat have driven their cattle to other vats for dipping, and the work is absolutely going fine, the people being unit for thoro dipping and an early elean-up.
 At Rich Mountain there has been one dipping, and no ticks found, this being the result of effective work last year At this place only occasional dipping will be required, this as a safety measure.
 In the country west of Cove and Vanderyoort, the one bad spot, fonr vats have been blown up and of these two were rebuilt, and one of these id5t was uenttuySu. At is eNPSStSu the coming session of circuit court will deal with the situation.
 Mountain Fork and Acorn are do- ing thoro work, and it is said every part of the territory from Scott county to Sevier county along the west line of Polk county is going to be cleaned up quickly unless the one small districts. as above described holds out, to the discredit and great disadvantage of the entire county.

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

Jamestown, Tenn.-"I have used Thedfords Black -Draught for years, in fact 1t is the only liver medicine that does me any good" says Mir. l.. A. Ragan, a well-known lumberman or this place. "When I was single, 1 used it for headaches, and especially if get a cold and feel feverish, take a good dose of Biack-Draught, and it sets me right.
 Since have been married. have used it in my family, and never have found it's 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 stimulate ing the liver to do it's important work.
 Ask for Thedford's Black -Draught, and insist on the genuine. NC-lS7
