ton, Etc.

Mrs. Elizabeth Spivey, who lives
near London, KY, makes the follow
ing statement:
II have found Black-Draught an
excellent medicine to use for consti-
patton. Relief is quickly obtained
and no bad after-effects follow It's
use. / have used ack-Draught in
my home for thirty years, and have
thoroughly tested it's merits.
Frequently I am troubled with
spells of constipation which probably
come from lack Of exercise. A bad
headache quickly follows and some
times pain from gas accumulated in
the intestines, bad breah and general
discomfort.
81 have learned to prevent such
troubles by taking Black-Draught at
the first danger signal. Often my
diet is such that the digestive tract
does not function properly, thus
causing constipation.
"Black-Draught has proved so ef-
fective, at such times, that always
keep it on hand in the family medi.
cine chest.
1T is regular medicine with us.
We have often recommended it to
neighbors and friends, because we, be.

No suspicion Of irregularity has

a twenty-by-twenty foot piece of real

about $40, in poor section of Mum

by Dearth.
Appealed to Assembly
A month or two later, Judge Muir

plea that his court be given separate
jury commissioners. A bill giving
this was passed and became a law in
the spring of 1928.

has not figured in any way in the
Dearth affair.

pearls, she idolized.

pearls. Pearls We're clustered around
her canoes. Though what she loved
best was her Add-A-Pearl necklace.
She had accepted it from a friend.
Strange the friendship ceased short
ly. That didn't matter to her, at
least
She overheard them talking in the
hotel lobby about this rare pearl,
she was interested of course. She
watched the men examine the beau
tiful jewel. She was very surprised
to see it rolling toward her. The
men searched in vain and soon gave
up as lost. The lady left as soon
as possible.
1t was not long until the lost pearl
was added to her necklace. But oh;
her beautiful pearls were soon
flecked with brown, she thought it
was punishment for her sin and de-
stroyed them all.
She did not know 1t was a leper

in contact with. That was the rea.
