STOMACH TROUBLES
Indiana Lady Had Something Like Indigestion Until She Took Black-Draught, Then
 Got All Right.

Seymour, Ind.-"Some time ago had a sick spell, something like indi- gestion," writes Mrs. Clara Peacock, of Route 6, this place. Il would get very sick at the stomach, and spit or vomit, especially in the mornings.
 Then I began the use of Thedfords Black-Draught, after I had tried other medicines. The Black Draught re- ieved me more than anything that I took, and I got all right.
 T haven't found anything better than Black-Draught when suffering from trouble caused by constipation. It is easy and sure. Can be taken in small doses or large as the case calls for"
 When you have sick stomach. indi- gestion, headache, constipation, or other disagreeable symptoms, take BlackDraught to help keep your system free from poison.
 Thedfords Black-Draught Is made from purely vegetable ingredients, acts in a gentle, natural way, and has no bad after-effects. Ut may be safely taken by young or old.
 Get a package of Black-Draught to day. Insist on the genuine, Thedford's.

S20,O0o MORE AID
 10 PALARM ROAD ROAD TO BE BETTERED
Damascus District Also Likely to Re ceive Additional Help from Gov
 ernment and State.

! The Conway and Palarm road dis trict was allotted $20,O00 additional federal aid by the advisory board of the state highway commission in ses- sion at Little Rock, according to q telephone message late yesterday to one of the commissioners from State Highway Engineer Limerick, This makes a total of $5100O allotted to this road from federal and state funds. The additional aid will enable the district to make slight increase in the width of the road and also to strengthen the surface by the use of more asphalt than the original speeifi- cations call for.
 In communication to Mayor w. D.. Cole, one of the commissioners of the Conway and Damascus district, En- gineer Limerick strongly urged that the district reconsider it's determina- tion to waive federal and state aid on account of requirements which seemed impracticable to meet. Mir. Limerick intimated that the federal specifications would probably be modi- fled so that the district could meet them and also that additional federal aid would probably be forthcoming. Concrete work on the abutments of the bridges in the Cadron bottom, which had just been started, has been sus- pended pending further investigation by the federal authorities and it is now thought likely the Damasucs dis trict will receive at least enough aid to cover the cost of constructing a new doubletrack bridge across the Cadron creek.
 The first quarry on the Damascus road was to be opened this afternoon about three miles north of Conway and the work of applying the hard surface will be started at once. The commissioners have decided to con- plete the hardsurfacing through the Cadron and Beaver Fork bottoms be- fore taking up this work anywhere else on the road, in order to take care of the fall and winter traffic through this bottom.

METHODS OF CHAIN
 GROCERY co. BARED
Industrial Transportation Company Sold $2,600,000 Stock to
 Public.
(By the Associated Press)


 St. Louis, July 20. - Industrial Transportation Company, which was capitalized at $20,00o,000, had issued $2,600,000 of stock to the public and S495,000 promotion stock to officers at the time it filed voluntary bank ruptcy petition April 1, last This was testified to by Alec A. Hart, vice president and treasurer of the com pany, at a hearing before Referee in Bankruptcy Coles.
 Of the amount of stock put out $210,000 later was cancelled, Mr. Hart explained. The company established about 150 chain grocery stores in Mis- sissouri, Arkansas, Texas and Louisi- ana, the witness asserted, but none proved profitable.
 A detailed report of the last meet ing held by the stockholders on April i, shows that 200 stockholders were present. One was a minister from Arkansas. Following the invitation of the chairman, he offered prayer. The stockholders then proceeded to vote the company into bankruptcy
 The plan by which the $2,600,000 worth of stock was sold to the public was brought out. The salesman would go into a community and try to find vacant building. If this was not available, he would find grocery dealer and offer to buy him out The price paid however, was in the com. pany's stock. In many cases the stock salesmen promised to employ the merchant as the company's man ager when the new store was opened The merchant also was expected tC interest his friends in the project and get them to buy stock.
 The stock salesman would go to a certain bank and tell the officers that if they would help reach certain goal in the sale of the stock the com pany would keep the money in that bank until the store was opened, and that the store would do all it's busi- ness with the bank. Hart said, how ever, that while this was the general practice of the salesmen, they did it
