TIRED, LISTLESS
WOMEN ARE
SELDOM POPULAR

Just look around you, note
the really popular women
among your friends and see If
you can discover the secret of
their popularity.
In some, it may be beauty
of face and form; in others,
personal magnetism and
charm; but in nearly every
instance you will find the
principal secret Of a woman's
popularity is that radiant
health and youthful vigor
which enables her to take an
active interest in modern
social life
Healthy, vigorous, active
women invariably win the adj
miration of their friends; but
tired, listless women are sell
dom popular.
If you are rundown, weak
and listless, due to over-work
or physical neglect, why not
start taking a good tonic?
Thousands of women who
were in that condition have
gratefully testified to the
benefits Of st. Joseph's G.F.P.
This rich, vegetable tonic
contains Natures own medi
cines in the form of roots and
herbs which have been used
for over a century to invigo-
rate and strengthen women.
Your druggist sells it on a

PRODUCTS OF
CANNERY SOLD
Packing of Tomatoes
Aid to Growers;
Demand Good


SAN JUAN, July 26.-The last car
OF tomatoes Of this seasons canning
vas shipped out from here Monday
by the Cochran Canning company of
San Juan. The car contained i,400
cases, No. l and No. 2 cans.
Three carloads of tomatoes have
making a total of 400 cases of to-
matoes for the season.
A carload Of grapefruit has been
canned and is still on hand at the
canning plant. Canning operations
closed, but this fall will see a ma
terial increase in the output Of the
plant, the owners say. Products be-
spinach and kraut. There is quite
a demand in small quantities for
cabbage, cut beans, corn, pumpkin,
squash and sweet potatoes. Between
times when the vegetable canning IS
slack, such products as beef, pork,
chicken and other food stuffs are
canned.
That canning is . success in the
Valley is demonstrated by the fact
that during the season more than
SHAce tlANcS a. many boMdbOCS nave
been turned away, as have been can
ned on account Of lack of capacity.
VI. Cochran. owner and operator,
states that during the season the
company has paid out over $4,000 TO
formers and for labor.
The tomatoes were brought from
the growers at SIS q ton and this
represents what would otherwise
go to waste in the field. One farm
er in the vicinity who has been sell
ing tomatoes TO the local cannery,
states that from three acres he has
netted nearly $1,000. The part sold
the cannery represented half Of the
yield.
Cochran says 1t is necessary to
let the tomatoes ripen on the vine,
instead Of picking them green and
letting them ripen, as this will not
make good canned tomatoes.
Commenting on the market for
canned products in comparison with
that of three or four years ago, the
owner said canning plants in the
Valley already have sold their en-
tire output.

Long List of Witnesses to
I Be Questioned.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 13. -
Backed with the assurance of Judge
Edwin o. Lewis, who ordered the
August grand jury to investigate
Philadelphia underworld with its
bootlegging and gambling, the in
vestigators renewed their sessions
today, calling a long list of wit
neSSeS.
Judge Lewis issued a formal state
ment yesterday in which he said in
part:
II can conceive of no legal objec-
tionS to a grand jury continuing to
completion matter properly
brought before it during a term of
court. To hold otherwise would
hamper and sometimes render COM
pletely ineffective the functions Of a
grand jury"
The judge, who last August in
structed the grand jury to find out
why gangsterS could kill two men
within ten days and the police do
little to solve the killings, said the
grand jurors were completing "un-
finished business"
An attack on the legality of the
grand jury was made Saturday by
an attorney for former Police Cap
tain Frank Kennedy, whom the
grand jury listed as unfit" to hold
Office because he had, they said, ac-
cepted bribes. Judge Lewis state
ment was in reply to that attack.

HEADACHES CAME ON
EVERY FEW WEEKS
Kentucky Mans Suffering
Caused Him To Lose Time
at Work Until He Found
That Black-Draught
Relieved Him.

Mr.. Robert J. Graybeal, of 149
Maple Avenue, Danville, KY, gives
the following interesting account of
his use of Black-Draught:
ut must have been about ten
years ago that I was having bad
headaches and would get very dizzy.
These headaches were coming on
every few weeks, and caused me to
lose time at my work.
Il was looking over the paper and
saw a Black -Draught advertise
nlent. thought that Black-Draught
might do me good.
''I took few doses of it and found
that it helped me. My head quit
aching, and I did not feel dizzy any
more.
Fright then I decided that Black
Draught was my medicine and for
the past ten years, when would
feel dizzy or when my head would
begin to ache, 1 went back to Black
Draught, and it surely has proved
most satisfactory.
ST do not have to take it all the
time, only at intervals when over
worked or when I get bilious"
Only the pureSt, selected medicinal
herbs and roots are used in the
manufacture of Black-Draught. 1t
is finely powdered, which enables
the Juices of the stomach to extract
it's medicinal properties in an easy,
natural way.
