STEEL NEXT WEEK FOR AUDITORIUM
Work On Superstructure Will Switch Construction Back
 Into Original Channels

Delivery of steel for the municipal auditorium will start next week. was the message o. Gordon Erickson, director of municipal music, who is slated for business manager of the auditorium, received in the city hall Wednesday morning. Erecting the auditorium has been going steadily forward. but parts are being built that were not to have been started for months, in order to keep the workers employed.
 Arrival of the steel work for the superstructure supporting the roof is expected to switch construction back into original channels for there Is much of the work that cannot be started until the roof is On.
 MT. Erickson has received 1000 re- quests for additional copies of the booklet he compiled regarding Bir- mingham and the auditorium. In the first lot 10000 were printed. Half of these have been set aside for dis tribution at conventions of a national nature. The other 5000 is nearly exhausted. but the demand keeps up. The booklets cost s750 for 10000. Or dering another 5000 or 10000 is un- der discussion along the lines of dis tributing them at cost, 7M cents apiece, to local institutions which want to send them out.

 of Black-Draught

Holden, La.-"When I was just a boy at home" says MT. F. D. Robert son of this place, 'my father and mother used Black Draught. and found then what a good medicine it have used it on from then to now, finding it was good for headache, in- digestion, bloating after meals. and colds.
 "A couple of years ago, every one, almost. around me was having the flu I took a cold and was feeling bad. l thought then l would take Black -Draught I took a good big dose every night and l can't begin to tell just how much good it did me. I was able to stay up and wait on others, and believe my good fortune was due to the use of Black-Draught, I wouldn't be without it in my home. for 1t is the best medicine I have ever used"
 By keeping your liver and stomach in good order, you stand in little dan ger of catching the serious ills that occasionally become epidemics. spreading through town and country.
 Black -Draught Is composed of me- dicinal roots and herbs, finely pow deredsand carefully mixed In the right proportions to act naturally on the stomach and liver. It has been found to improve Indigestion, and to re- lieve constipation in prompt, safe way.
