East Nashville, Tenn The effio-
iency Of Thedford's Black-Draught, the
genuine, herb, liver medicine, 10
vouched for by Mr.. W. N. Parsons,
grocer Of this city. "It is without
doubt the best liver medicine, and ]
don't believe could get along without
It l take it for sour stomach, head
ache, bad liver, indigestion, and all
other troubles that are the result Of

and can and do highly recommend 1t
to every one. I won't go to bed with.
out 1t in the house. 1t will do all II
claims to do. l can't say enough for
It."
Many other men and women through.
out the country have found Black
Draught just as Mr. Parsons describes
valuable in regulating the liver to
its normal functions, and in cleansing
the bowels of impurities.

SIGNATURES TO
PETITION FOR
REDISTRICTINC
Sought With Design of Altering
Line of Number of Township
North of Lakeland

Signatures are being secured to a
petition to be presented to the legisla-
ture asking for a redistricting of six
or seven townships north of Lakeland
now included in the Winter Haven
district, but so remote from that GEN.
ter as to work a hardship both on the
county commissioner and the tax
payers in that territory.
The petition reads as follows and
seems to be so reasonable that doubt
less there will be no difficulty in
bringing about the desired change:
ITO Hon. o. NJ Eaton, A. ]. Nor
gan and John NJ Keen:
I'VE, the undersigned registered
voters, respectfully petition you to in
troduce and pass a measure allowing
the county commissioners to redis-
trict Polk county The object of this
is in order that the territory in and
around Kathleen shall be put in this
Lakeland district instead of the dis.
trict as at present, this territory be.
ing in the same district with Winter
Haven. and the county commissioners
take the position at present, that un
der chapter 1472 of the Revised Gen
eral statutes, they have no authority
to change the lines, and in view of Tho
fact that they have not changed then
previously only every five years. You
cooperation would, be appreciated

en- q time and a half bisis.
Mr.. Smith pointed out that these
rates were those prevailing before the
increased wage award made by tho
railroad labor board in July and made
retroactive to May l, 1920. This in
volved for the New York Central lines
alone, he said, an increase in wages
OF approximately $20,240,0O includ-
ing back pay of $S,10O,O00.
"The effect of the Adamson law,
which became operative as of January
/. 1917 Mr.. Smith said, was to es-
tablish in contracts for labor and SER
vice eight hours as the measure of a
days work for the purpose of reck-
oning the compensation for service, in
the place of 10 hours which had pre-
viously obtained. While this did no;
increase the basic day or mileage
rates of engine and train crews, the
overtime rates were increased as well
as the number of hours of overtime
since this extra compensation became
payable in four-fifths Of the time. The
result in money to the New York Cen
tral in 1917 was an increase of 81,
045 900 or 1879 per cent in the pay of
men concerned in the Adamson law,
enginemen, firemen, conductors and
trainmen.

THE WEATHER

The high pressure area which was
over the Upper Lake region has
moved slowly eastward over the St.
Lawrence Valley and New England,
and has caused generally fair weather
over the northeastern states. Pressure
continues relatively low over She Gulf
of Mexico, and scattered rains have
occurred in the Florida Peninsula and
on the Middle Atlantic coast. 1t is
somewhat warmer over the eastern
half of the country.
In the west, the center of low pres
sure is over Montana this morning,
and rain has occurred over the plains
states, the plateau region and Mon
tana. Pressure is relatively high on
the Pacific coast. and fair weather has
prevailed there. 1t is warmer over the
plains states and the Missouri valley.
Elsewhere temperature changes have
been small and irregular.
Indications are for partly cloudy to
cloudy weather in the vicinity of Tam
pa, with occasional showers probable
tonight or Friday.

Vote of Confidence Be-
lieved to be Assured,
However, and Position
of French P r e m e r
Said to Be Stronger
Since Latest State
ment of Lloyd George.

Paris, May 19.-France insists upon
the execution of the Versailles treaty
in drawing the frontier line between
Germany and Poland in Upper Silesia,
Premier BRAND stated last night, upon
receiving newspaper correspondents.
He reiterated statements made to the
newspaper men last Saturday, when,
in answering the address of Premier
Lloyd George before the House of
Commons on Friday, he declared that
invasion of Silesia by German troops
would not be tolerated by France.
Mr. BRAND said he did not see the
desirability of seeing Lloyd George
before all documents relating to the
matter were received from the inter
allied commission at Oppeln.
NJ Brands statement may have
been ELECTED by declarations made by
Premier Lloyd George in London yes
terday in which the premier declared
that the settlement of the Silesian
question must be made by the allies
and not by Adalbert Korfanty, Polish
insurgent leader who recently has
taken over virtually all of Siesia.
Attack In Assembly
When the Chamber of Deputies re-
convened today after recess the
BRAND cabinet was expected to be the
center of a concentrated attack.
Friends of the administration expect
ed it to be supported by a great ma
jority when the question of Silesia
came up, but its opponets said there
would be no such majority of 424 to
80 as was given NJ BRAND when he
left for London to participate in the
meeting of the allied supreme coun-
Gil that sent the reparations ultima
tum to the German government.
Twelve interpretations were in
scribed on the blotter of Raoul Peret,
president of the chamber, when the
session opened.
Premier to Make Statement Later
Premier BRAND has declared he
would make no statement until he has
heard all the interpretations when he
would make a comprehensive reply. 1t
was not believed the putting of the
vote of confidence would be reached
before Saturday. Had this discussion
occurred Immediately after the ad-
journment of the London sitting of the
supreme council. opponents declared
today. there would have been conf
dence that the government would have
met defeat The pronouncement of
Premier Lloyd George on the Upper
Silesian question and the first repara-
tion payment of $3.50 100000 gold
marks, was said by the supporters of
the ministry, to have solidified Bri-
and's position.

posals to enlarge the scope of evange-
listic work ahead Another paramount
issue before the assembly, it was eX
planned, is the projected unificatior
of all Presbyterian churches.
In connection with the eyangelistic
program, the assembly was confront
ed with a request for a budget for
S6, 100000 for foreign and domestic
missions. The committee on system
Of bcniiicences and stewardships pro
posed also that $4.300,00 be designat-
ed for benificences, including minis
terial relief.
Indications are that the PLAN for
unifcation would meet some opposi-
ticn and delegates in a minority re-
pert would lie submitted recommend
ing that the assembly decline to send
down to the Presbyteries for adoption
the proposed constitution formulated
by an ad interim committee for the
United Assembly of the Presbyterian
Reformed Churches in America.

ing auto rides, dancing, feeds" and
all that. West Palm Beach came up

wanted it, too.

both federal and state bonuses, the
opposition having been quietly and
gently smoothed away outside the con-
vention hail.

was much speculation as to the new
state head of the Legion, but this mat
ter also was well taken care of be-
forehand, and att voting time Sumter
