CHAPMAN. Vegetable Laxative Makes Happy Friends Here’s a laxative that usually acts thoroughly as harsher ones but is a gentle persuader for intestines when used this way: A quarter to a half-teaspoonful of spicy, aromatic BLACK-DRAUGHT on your tongue tonight; a drink of water. There’s usually time for a good night’s rest, with a gentle, thorough action next morning relieving constipa tion’s headaches, biliousness, sour stomach, bad breath. ‘ BLACK-DRAUGHT is a splendid combination of vegetable ingredi ents, chief of which is an “intesti nal tonic-laxative” that helps im part tone to lazy bowel muscles. It’s economical. 25 to 40 doses: 25c. Read the advertisements. It pays. HEADACHEo^ NEURALGIA Mr jside, in the homes, in the synagogues iin the city, or in desert places Jesus j I was master of the occasion. He loved ) I the vilest of sinners and often times j spent much of the day dealing with jsome individual who had fallen into jthe vice-traps of Satan. As no one jelse can, Jesus understands our problems in life and sympathizes with our sufferings. Jesus alone possesses the power to save men. He is “mighty to save.” His name declared it. “Thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall .save his people from their sins.” |Mt.. 1:21. His word promises it. I Wherefore he is able also to save jthem to the uttermost that come un- jto God by him, seeing he ever liveth ;to make intercession for them.” Heb. 7:25. His work proves it. He saved me, he saved others, and he can save you if you are lost today. A man in India told a missionary that he found many things in Chris tianity similar to Hinduism, but that Christianity possessed one thing that his religion did not. That was a sa vior. How empty must be the religion that does not have a Savior. Jesus has power to keep us. Thank God for his promise, “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.” John 10:27, 28. Look to Je^us, the adequate Savior.

New Registration Required Of All IVIcDowell County Voters By Statewide act of the 1939 Legislature all coun ties were required to either completely revise the Reg istration books or order a new registration. The meth od of revision provided was deemed too expensive and impractical and a new registration for this county has f been called. REGARDLESS OF WHETHER A PERSON IS REGISTERED NOW OR NOT, HE OR SHE MUST REGISTER TO VOTE IN THE 1940 ELECTIONS. Registration Books Will Open Saturday, April 27, and close on Saturday, May 11. Registrars will be at the voting places in each pre cinct on the following Saturdays: April 27th, May 4th and May 11th, from 9 A. M. until sundown. A person will be allowed to register any time dur ing the registration period, but the registrars will be required to be at the polling places only on the above dates. AMONG THE IMPORTANT CHANGES IN THE ELECTION LAWS ARE THE FOLLOWING: 1. No absentee ballots for any of&ce will be permitted in the primary. 2. All voters must declare their party affiliation when registered. All Democrats will be registered in the Democratic Primary Registration Book — All Re- Republicans in the Republican Primary Book. Vot ers who do not affiliate with either party will be registered, but can not be registered in the Primary Registration Books and will not be permitted to vote in the Primary of either Party. 3. A person may change his party affiliation, but must do so during a registration period. ALL VOTERS, REGARDLESS OF PARTY AF- FILIATION, ARE URGED TO REGISTER. RE MEMBER, YOU CAN’T VOTE UNLESS YOU REGISTER. McDowell County Board of Elections J. W. Streetman, Jr., Chm. G. W. Kirkpatrick, SecV G. F. Washburn in
