•‘I want to tell you what wonderful benefit I re-

Mrs. Sylvania Woods, of Clifton Mills, Ky.
‘‘It certainly has no equal for la grippe, bad colds, -
liver and stomach troubles. I firmly believe Black-Draught -
saved my little girl’s life. When she had the measles,
they went in on her, but one good dose of Thedford s
Black-Draught made them break out, aad she has had no
more trouble. I shall never be without

The average auto will stand;
without being tied to a post, but
the average auto driver does not
realize this, consequently ‘ poor
folks" sometimes have (lift iciilty t
in tinding a place to tic “old
dobbin." When a string of autos
are lined up on both sides of thei
streets, which is a daily oeeurence
in Ballinger, the lady who drives
down town to do a little shop-
ping is compelled to drive around
in the near alley or off on a va-
cant lot a block or two from the,
business district to find <i place'
to tie her horse. This trouble has
been called to the attention of
some of the officers, but the officers
do not regulate the "hitching" of
autos, hence the “]>oor folks" get i
no relief. Why not park the cars'
in the middle of the streets? We

The reply is not complete, but
