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 it is the only liver medicine that
does me any good" says Mr.. L A.
Ragan, a well-known lumberman Of
this place When l was single, / used
it for headaches, and especially IL
get cold and feel feverish, take a
good dose of Black-Draught, and 1t
sets me right
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. / can recommend Black
Draught, and gladly do So"
Every member of the family occa-
sionalfy needs the assistance that
BlaclI-Draught can give, in helping to
cleanse the system and relieve or pre-
vent the troubles that come from a
azy, torpid liver.
IL 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 stimulat-
ing the liver to do its important work.
Ask for Thedford's Black-Draught,

'. ". [. A. SUMMER
 SCHOOL IS CLOSED

After a successful session of six weeks the summer school conducted at the Golden Hill house of the Y. W. C. A., closed today. In this short time. the pupils covered five months work. There were six boys and girls in the group and work was conducted under the direction of Mrs. Frank Whitman, formerly a teacher at Islandbrook school.
 In an interview yesterday Mrs. Frank Whitman said, t'I think the school as a whole has been unusually successful but of course the real sue cess of it cannot be determined until the opening of school when the prin- cipa1s will be decided whether this summed work will count for anything in connection with the regular school work.
 "I have found that summer school pupils are very much more attentive to their work than the average regu- lar school student. During the past six weeks I have found only one boy in my class who did not pay the high est attention to his work and that child is one who is very nervous and probably could not concentrate on any one thing for any great length of time.''
 History, arithmetic, English and spelling were taken up by the pupils. About three times the regular amount of homework was given and the pro gram made up for the grammar schools for the first five months of the year was carried on.

Cosmetic Society Asks Law Regulating
 Beauty Shops

Chicago. Aug. 13 - The selling. of beauty will be regulated by law, if a proposed bill goes through.
 When a dissatisfied brunette de- cides she wants to become a hot weather blonde the whole State, liter ally speaking, will know about it. When a forty-fve-year-old dowager becomes twenyy-year-old happer by the new wrinkle-removing process she will do so under the auspices of the State, so to speak. The gentle and magic art of the cosmetician no long CT will be practiced in darkest sec recy.
 That is, if the National Cosmetician Sociey, which met recently in Chi cago, succeeds in putting through the Cosmetician bill.
 ''We are working for uniform 1egis- lation for cosmeticians throughout the country said a leading member of the society. fWe are working for the passage of a law that will en- force State inspection of beauty shops and cosmetic work, and that will make it necessary for a cosmetician to pass a State examination before she is per nitted to go into the business. This will put beauty work on still higher plane. It really is a scientific profes- sion and should be treated as such.''
