Before I started taking Black-
Draught, three years ago, my
health was very bad,” writes Mrs.
C. C. Carson, 945 Concord St.,
Beaumont, Texas. "I suffered
constantly from constipation. I
had headache when I got up in
the morning, and I felt dull and
sluggish. I hardly ate a meal
that my food agreed with me.
Frequently I would have gas on
my stomach, and felt awful.
"I read about Black-Draught,
and I thought it might help me.
After I had taken it a little while,
I felt much better. It relieves
constipation. I keep it on hand
so when I need a laxative T will
have it. In the three years I
have been taking it, I have never
found au3ithing as fssd fsr con
stipation.”

Today’s Good Telephone Service
Must Be Better Tomorrow
Not long ago very few long distance calls were handled
while the calling subscriber remained at the telephone.
Today more than 70 per cent are handled that way.
Today the average time required to complete a long
distance call is only 2.4 minutes as compared with 7.5
minutes five years ago.
Similar improvements have been made in your local
service and errors now average less than two in every
100 local calls.
These achievements are the result of new inventions,
improved operating methods, new equipment, combined
with the skill and interest of experienced operators, line
men and engineers cooperating with an army of loyal
workers, many of whom are technical experts.
Proud as they are of these accomplishments, the tele
phone organization is not satisfied. There is no standing
still in the Bell System and every day organized effort
is directed toward making your service even better to
morrow.
