New York. - A COW kicked over a
lamp and Chicago was swept by
ncve-to-be-frogotten fire. The other
night on her way home from movie,
a New York woman paid 65 cents for
a pumpkin pie; and fifteen of the
largest women's organizations in the
city have delved into the question of
the baking industry with a detcrmina-
tion to thresh things out thoroughly
and completely. The purchaser of the
pie, informed Mrs. Louis Welzmiller,
deputy commissioner Of markets, of
the extortionate 65 cents Mrs. Welz-
miller interview the baker. He ex-
planned that it was the supper-after-
tn movie habit that kted his prices.
people have got to stopping in reg
ularly to get food for after-thepicture
suppers at home," he said. THAT
means | have to keep my fires going
all the evening and pay my bakers and
clerks overtime rates to stay here
That pumpkin pie cost me 60 cents" ="
1t seemed plausible, but the deputy
commissioner decided it was a good
time to get women interested in the
whole proposition. So five big baking
companies are to prepare data and an
swer questions for any aroused wo-
mankind.

Used Black-Draught
30 Years.

Cameron, Okla.-I have used
Thedford's Black.Draught for about
thirty years, and certainly ought to
know by this time what good medi-
cine it is" says Mr.. T. l.. Bostier, a
well-known farmer Of this place. Mr..
Bostier has passed his three-score-and-
tenth year, but declares his health
still is good, "and l can say Black
Draught did its part"
where there is a lot Of malaria, a
liver medicine is necessity, and |
have never found one better than
Black -Draught," continues the Okla.
homan. ut is one that know to be
reliable. I sure use it for the liver,
stomach, constipation. indigestion, and
it has done me a world Of good. We
use it for the family, and it gives
satisfaction.
Most trouble, or sickness, comes
from the liver, and II taken in time
can be avoided. That is why l use
Black Draught as | do. I am much
pleased with results obtained"
Thedford's Blacll-Draught is purely
vegetable. 1t acts on the bowels, gent
ly stimulating the liver, and helps in
crease the normal flow OF bile into the
intestnes. 1t assists in the digestion
Of food, and relieves constipation in a
prompt and natural way.
Ask your druggist for a package to-
day. Insist On Thedford's. NC-139

Every Kentucky bank has been des-

the rleief of the 10000 900 inhabitants
Of teh five famine stricken provinces
in North Central China. This action,
with the sanction of the bankers was
taken at the meeting of the newly ap-
pointed executive committee for the
state. Through this method it makes
the sending of contributions easier,
it is pointed out by Joseph Burge of

Board of Trade Building, Louisville
The Rev. DR.. f.. Y. Mullins, president
Of the Southern Baptist Theological
Seminary, is chairman having been
appointed by President Wilson
Reports from the American Minister
at Peking which have been cabled
to President Wilson, state that of the
40,000,O0O persons who are without
adequate clothing and food, 100000
are entirely without fuel and any
kind of food subsisting on dry leaves
and bark from trees. This deplor-
able condition is due to the failure of
the last two crops and now there are
approximately 4O,OO0,OOO persons so
emaciated from hunger, they are un-
able to leave their novels.
The executive committee was ap-
pointed at meeting which was called
by DR.. Mullins. George W. Norton
having been appointed vice chairman.
The members are:
Mrs. George T. Settle. Mrs. William
Black, Mrs. W. A. Mills, w. L. Nor
row, w. X .Belknap, Edward S. Jouett,
the Rev. George A. Joplin, Philo c.
Dix, the Rev. p. b. Hill and Ben S.
Washer.
DR.. Hill who served as missionary
in China( Japan and Korea pointed
out that the Chinese are ou rallies in
the Orient and in case of a crisis in
the Far East would put their lives at
the service of the United States.
mot only is this feeling of love for
America to the missionaries in China
but it is due to the square dealings the
Chinese have received at the hands OF
American commerce. The railroads
through Korea and China are built OF
American rails and on them run
Baldwin locomotives drawing freight
and passenger cars made by American

Car works. The Chinese look upon us
as their benefactors in time of distress
and through the efforts of the Ameri-
can missionaries of every religious de.
nomination, China is fast becoming
Christianzed.
The Kentucky Executive committee
has set as its goal 100000, a a min.
imum for Kentucky. Checks should
be made payable to Joseph Burge

official recognition of shopping as a

sometimes and take a fair amount OF
time for it," explains one of the lead
ers in the time-for-shopping move
ment, "but business women are under
special necessity of keeping we'll
groomed. Some of our employers are
honest enough to admit that it is not
only to our advantage but to theirs, to
have us smartly kept up. We can't
do this with hurried dash into a

are markets all over the world for
American goods" he said. "And there
are factories and workmen all
throughout this country capable of
making the goods for those markets.
Now then, if we want to be prosper
Gus, if we want our labor employed at
good wages and our retil men and
manufacturers and the rest of us, en-
joying the fruits of general prosperity,
we must get out and find those mar
kets and sell them We can do it as
well as any other country and we
must do it, because when our factories
are as busy as they ought to be we
produce more than we consume. The
newspapers can be of tremendous help
in educating us all to the Importance
