Besides the band, which will play
throughout the day in the park, there
viii be orchestra music for dancing,
which will continue throughout the
afternoon and early evening at the
park pavilion and at the auditorium
in the evening. These orchestras,
says the music committee, will be the
best obtainable. The Legion is not
giving the celebration for the pur-
pose of making money, but as proper
observance Of the nations birthday,
and no expense will be spared to make
1t the best possible.
The Legion handled the celebration
last year, and it is not hard for those
who attended it to believe that this
years celebration will even surpass
that OF a year ago. IL is possible that
fireworks will be provided for the
evening.
While most of last Thursday even
ing's meeting was given to the devel-
opment of the celebration plans, the
Legion did give time to the the cleo

INDIGESTION
Busy Public Official Says Thed-

Keep Physically Fit.

Clay City, Ky.-"T have been in
business here for twenty-one years;

hills and hollows in all kinds of
weather and under all kinds of con-
ditions," says Mr. Sam T. Carr, of this
place. ITO be able to do so, / must
keep physically fit, and Thedford's
Black-Draught is my standby.
These trips used to give me head
aches, and that, l found, came from
hurried meals or from constipation.
II was convinced that Black Draught
was good, so now use 1t, and 1t gives
perfect satisfaction. 1t acts on the
liver, relieves indigestion, and certain
ly is splendid. / am never without it."
When you have feeling of discom-
fort after meals, causing a bloating
sensation, headache, bad breath, and
similar common symptoms, try taking
a pinch Of Black-Draught after meals
pinch of the dry powder, washed
down with a swallow of water. This
has been found to assist the stomach
and liver to carry on their normal
work, and helps prevent, or relieve,
constipation.
Your druggist can supply you with
this we1-known, purely-vegetable liver
medicine. Insist upon Thedford's, the
original and only genuine Black.

He went fumbling about in an old

sort of salt-shaker which he held up
to the light.

this, he apologized, $50 that nobody
will think it worthwhile and steal

While he was talking you could
have hung your hat on Nancy's and
Nick's eyes, they were sticking out
so far with amazement. For the

Moon-Man said was SO old and
worthless was cut from a single ruby

Here is the latest idea in camps for
motorists. says the Popular Mechanics
Magazine: An Oakland (Cai.) concern
is spending no less than $4,000 in
erecting "bungalettes" on an elght-acre
tract TO be let to motoring tourists by
the night or for any longer period
up to fifteen years Gas the manage
ment jokingly announces), which is
the length of the lease on the land.
These simple residences are designed
to take the place Of tents, and while
their furnishings are meager compared
with regular houses they offer con-
siderably more in the way Of conye-
niences that is commonly offered by an
ordinary tent. These bungalettes are
of two types, some with one room and
some with two rooms. They are built
entirely Of wood. and are equipped
with sinks. running water. electric
lights. two-burner gas plates, etc.

hours and it cannot be stopped with.

A burglar might carry Off the box,
but its alarm would keep on ringing
and would give him away before he
could get it TO place Of safety. II

true Of the dishonest servant.
The owner can. however. open and
close the box at will, as he has tho
key. And the only way In which he
can be robbed Is by some thief steal

box.
