cuSSion.

HER FRIEND HAD
THE RIGHT IDEA
Told Suffering Kentucky Lady To
Drive Out POiSons Resulting
From Constipation BY Taking
Black Draught.


Mrs Mabel Reagan of Corbin, KY,
has given the following interesting
account of her use of Thedford's
Black-Draught for a very common
ailment:
Il have been taking Black
Draught, at intervals, for ten or
more years. My health has grown
better since taking Black Draught.
For many years 1 suffered with
constipation. I could not sleep at
night. 1 would have a dull, aching
feeling in my limbs, up my back,
and in my head.
'"I suffered with gas pains, and
had such a bitter taste in my
mouth.
"A friend, one day, asked me why
did not do something for this. She
said. Get some Black Draught; it
will drive out that poison
II began to take Black Draught

recommended it to be- After I had
taken a few doses, rested at night.
and felt much better, rested. and
full of life. would not be with
out it.
From then on to now. I have
used it. whenever I had the least
sign Of constipation or sluggish
ness"
Constipation dams up poisons in
the bowels, where they are abb
sorbed into the general system, caus-
ing many serious symptoms.
Be sure to try Black Draught.

WALSH DEFEAT
ON POWER QUIZ
ROUSES PARTY
Democrats Object to Lobby
Influence; Robinson Is
Criticised.
BY @. ]. LILLEY

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-Demo-
cratic Senators who deserted Sen
ator Walsh to vote against Sen
ate investigation Of the power in
dustTy have not heard the last OF
it, party leaders agree.
Breaking Of party ranks in such
a manner as to give an impression
that Democrats are under the
thumb of the power lobby does not
set well with the rank and file of
the party.
The most surprising desertion
was that Of Senator Joseph Robin
son Of Arkansas, minority leader in
the Senate. Had Robinson stood
by Walsh, the power resolution
would have carried. Walsh con-
cedes this. Robinson not only
added strength to Senator Georges
attack on the Walsh resolution, but
carried other Democratic votes
with him.
Reasons for Split
Numerous reasons are being adj
vanced for what happened. Here
are a few:
Robinson and George wanted to
prevent Walsh from becoming too
outstanding a national figure and
opposed his power inquiry in order
to set him back politically.
The Democrats wanted to get
campaign funds from the power in
tereStS.
The Democrats wanted to punish
Walsh for playing a lone hand"

There are many communities in

that the time has come to present
them for international acceptance.
The routes from Portland and Sc
sattle would follow Approximately the
line of the great circle to Yokohama,
and vessels passing each other would
keep to the right, as in the Atlantic.
But in the Honolulu to Yokohama
lanes this order would be reversed
and vessels would keep to the left, as
in the automobile traffic of London
and Ontario. This is due to the fact
that the west-bound route has been
charted far to the south of the east
bound in order to take advantage Of
the Japan current. By heading to-
ward the north after leaving Yoke
hama, east-bound vessels are helped
by the north-f1owing current, and by
approaching from the south, west
bound ones are not hindered by it.

The welI-built home Of another era,
obsolete only because of the omission
Of moving features and interior equip
ment which have come within the last
few years to be adopted as neces-
sary, offers to the owner or the build
err fertile field for the exercise Of
an interesting and profitable hobby in
adding or removing features Which
make or detract from the modernity
of the house.
Among the additions possible is
that Of the second floor sleeping
porch, which may economically be
built where first floor projection ex-
tends beyond the body of the house.
This makes necessary the removal
Of the slanting roof of the projection,
IL there is one; the construction of
room by erecting glazed walls, con-
struction of a roof and enlarging
window to make room for connect
ing door.
The sleeping porch may also be
added by supporting it outside tie

porch or. rear terrace, but this meth
Cd makes the heating rather difficult
unless the unprotected floor be we'll
insulated.
Should it be decided to place the adj
dition over an attached garage. it Is
advisable to put sheet metal or some
dense material in the floor so that the
gasoline fumes will not penetrate to
the sleeping porch.
Probably the most important con-
sideration in the construction of the
sleeping porch is that of the type of
windows to be used.
There are many types of patented
hardware for windows which will per-
init of the entire unit of windows be-
ing folded up to one side, but the
usual practice is to put the type used
for the remainder of the house.
Steel easements are economical for
this use and have the further advan-

a paramount consideration if the work
is to be done by the home craftsman.
They are simply PLACED by screwing
