UNCOMFORTABLE
AFTER MEALS?
Then Try a Pinch of Black
Draught. This White
Haired Alabama Lady
Says 1t Helps Her.

Dutton, Ala.-In recommending
Thedford's Black-Draught to her
friends and neighbors here, Mrs. T.
F. Parks, a well-known Jackson
County lady, said:
II am getting up in years; my
head is pretty white. / have seen
medicines and remedies come and
go, but the old reliable came and
stayed. l am talking of Black
Draught, a liver medicine we have
used for years-one that can be de-
pended upon and one that will do
the work.
"Black-Draught will relieve indi-
gestion and constipation if taken
right, and / know, for / tried it. 1t
is the best thing / have ever found
for the full, uncomfortable feeling
after meals.
"Sour stomach and sick headache
can be relieved by taking Black
Draught. It aids digestion, also as
sists the liver in throwing off inn
purities l am glad to recommend
Black raught, and do, to my
friends and neighbors."
For simple, common ailments, due
to disordered stomach, liver and
bowels, you will find Thedford's
Black-Draught a useful and valu-
able remedy. The purely vegetable
ingredients of which Black Draught
is composed gently stimulate the
liver, increasing the flow Of diges-
tive Juices, thereby helping to pre-
vent or relieve constipation in an
easy, natural way.
Insist upon Thedford's, the orig
inal and only genuine Black
Draught powdered herb and root

COMEDY FEATURES
BILL At THE LYRIC
Keith Vaudeville and Will
Rogers in PhotopIay Is
Offering

Comedy is going to be the thing at
the Lyric for the next three days, be-
ginning this afternoon. Four of the
five big-tfnre Keith acts have comedy
as a basis, while the special screen
production has none other that that
famous comedian, VIII Rogers, as
the star.
Comedy is the headliner as pre-
scented by the Innis Brothers. They
call their act THE Men About Town"
and it is one of those acts filled
with wit and cleverness. There Is
comedy in the lines and they are
artists in the laugh making field,
proving it by the way they get over
their stuff.
Just for variety the special added
attraction is music, music of an un-
usual kind. Nine. Jean Arnal. in
ternationa1 prima donna, will offer
a cycle of melodies, Songs from the
Far East" unusual and most pleas
ing.
More comedy is offered in the spe-
cial feature. 1t has to be with Ed
ward Blondell putting it on. He calls
his skit, which is one of those things
which has a big laugh in every line,
"The Boy From Home" and Gertrude
Perry assists in putting it over.
Two clever acts round out the bill.
Carson and Willard present Meet
the Doctor" while Lynch and Stew
art have vaudeville oddly.
Will Rogers is the screen star In
The Headless Horseman," one of
the best pictures he has ever had.

CURE PEA-SICK LAND
BY PROPER ROTATION
Root Rot Is Present in All Of
Larger Areas.
Disease Lives in Soil and Becomes
More Destructive Each Season
Varieties Resistant to All
ment Being Grown.

prepared by the United states Department
OF Agricuiture)
Where the crop of peas grown for
canning or truck market purposes the
past season has shown root rot. the
United States Department Of Agricui-
ture advises planning for a long rota-
ton Of other crops. beginning with the
next season. to rid the soil Of the
disease. A four-year rotation is some
times effective, but cases have been
met, both In the East and in the Cen
trnl states, where even n longer rota-
ton n proved insufficient.
Investigations BY the department
during the past three years have
shown that root rot of peas is present
in all OF the larger pea-growing areas
enst of the Mississippi. and to some tx
tent In Montana and Utah. The dis
ease lives in the soil and becomes
more destructive each yenr that peas
are grown on infested land, oon re-
ducing the crop to such an extent ns
to mike 1t Improbable. 1t is dis
tributed by the custom prevalent Ia
some sections of transferring soil from

In spite Of its popularity in certain re-
