Vegetable Laxative
Has Important Points

Most people want a laxative to do
three things: (1) act punctually,
(2) act thoroughly, (3) act gently.
Here's one that usually fills all
three requirements when the easy
directions are followed. It's an all
vegetable product whose principal
ingredient has medical recognition
as an "intestinal tonic-laxative."
That's the ingredient which en-
ables BLACK DRAUGHT to help
tone lazy bowel muscles. It is the
main reason for the satisfying re-
lief from constipation that gener-
ally follows next morning when
BLACK -DRAUGHT is taken at
bedtime. The millions of packages
used are proof of its merit.

man planes, intensifying attacks on
the British Isles preparatory to
launching blitzkrieg, successfully
attacked "a number" of British

killed four persons but caused no
serious material damage.

Mason Sees Hitler
Gesture TO U.S.in
ArInistice Terms
BY ]. w. T. MASON
United Press War Expert

The official versions of the Ger
man and Italian armistice terms
contain one clause that seems to
have been formulated for its effect
on the United States. In the
naval section of the armistice agree
ment both Germany and Italy give
assurances that they will make no
elaine for possession of the French
war fleet when final peace terms are
discussed. Such a pledge has no
precedent. A first-clasS power,
hoping to win a war against nations
dominating the seas, would never
agree in advance to abandon right
of seizure of the warships of its
enemy without some exceptional
reason.
The government of Germany is
observing very closely the attitude
of the United States toward the
war and the American agitation for
preparedness. Arguments in, the
United States that there will be a
German offensive in the western
hemisphere if Germany wins mas
terry over Europe are we'll known
to Hitler. Especially is he familiar
with feeling in the United States
concerning possible developments if
Germany gains possession of the
French and British fleets after the
war and unites them with his own
and with Italian sea power. Hitler
has special bureau attached to his
personal staff which keeps him in
formed of all such international
trends. Hitler's diplomatic STRAIT
egg has been much superior to the
Hohenzollern's in the world war.

intention of acquiring the French
