Out in the breezy west in Missouri, tci b; inure pa
cific the state of the late .Champ ( lark ami hi.s timm'
dawg they are great on slogans. Acvirlin to Kl. Urittoti
in the News and Observer the MisHoirrian: are Riven
lomewhat to alliteration also the two mental diameter
istics producing the following: "ILmliri, llyilc, Hi-li ami
Hard Times."
"PUT AND TAKE."
Beware! Thing are not what they ..c m. There was
a time when the barefooted boy with hi gaily n.lord.l
top and string pre-umpte'l the sidewalk, highways an 1
byways. None had the hardihood ti guinsiay hi rifcht
of way as he with okill would Bet the tup agiring and
watch its dizzy pranks.
But times have changed. And the innocent top, having
parted company with the good stout .string, no lunm-i-pine
or 'the boy's iimuaeineiit and pleased interest of
the passerby.' row it eiruica covered over with sW.'injre
legends: "All Put," "Take Two," "Put One." "Take Ail,"
"Put Two," "Take One," "Take All."- And thus it has
become a most inuidious gaiulding device. Just a little
top, spun by the thumb and forefinger-takn.s but a few
seconds to deliver Its message, hut the import is deadly.
The message appeals to the gambling instinct latent ap
parently in welt-nigh the entirety of humanity.
The little top escapade is simply baby gambling with all
the scientific frills and skillful exhibitions left out. The
custom is a most dangerous social prurlice that is under
the guise of Innocent pastime ijuiijtly crowing up in miv
midst, It i boyhood's response to the gannl'liiig mania.
The practice seems to be nation-wide in xtent.
In the great majority of pockets of thu youngsters of
Kinston these "Put and Take" tops will probably be
found: the tendency is to make gamblers of Kinston buys.
Jhe tendency may run Its course and the completed pro
duct tna issue or it may not. Depends on whut kind of
influence intervenes., Hut if the gambler is not developed
it will not bo the fault of the device employed.

AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENTS.
We know not whether to lilame it on the weather on
something else but automobile accidents as reported by
the public press seem to be abnormally frciuent in oc
currence. Monday's News and Observer carried eighty-two items
of news. "Twenty-one of these items" according t.i the
News and Observer, "told of injury or death, most of the
twenty-one of fatalities canned by avoidable accidents,
several of the most, horrible being fi'.m automobile cas
ualties." Which fact leads that papi r to suggest thai
every auromuUile driver adopt the following: "Caution;
many curves. You might meet a fool."
Such a caution would undoubtedly help; for sad to say
a driver may lie prudent on his own part and at the. Mime
time suffer from a "fool" whom he chances to meet.
Then comes the Grebiiilvfti Daily News with a descrip
tion of one of the aforesaid species aa follows:
. "At Spencer. Saturday an automobile driver whose car
had been parked on the side of the street, suddenly backed

INDIGESTION
Bos; Public Official Says Thei
ford's Black-Draught Helps Him
Keep Physically Fit
Clay City, Ky. "I hare been in
business here for twenty-one years;
am b4so coroner, riding the Kentucky
hills and hollows in all kinds of
weather and under all kinds of con
ditions," says Mr. Sam T. Carr, of this
place. "To be able to do so, I must
keep ' physically fit, and Thedford's
Wack-Draught is my etand-by.
"These trips used to give me head
aches, and that, I found, came from
hurried meals or from constipation.
"I was convinced that Black-Draught
was good, so now I use it, and It gives
perfect satisfaction. It acts on the
liver, relieves Indigestion, and certain
ly Is splendid. I am never without it."
When you have a feeling of discom
fort after meals, causing a bloating
sensation, headache, bad breath, and
similar common symptoms, try taking
a pinch of Black-Draught after meals
a pinch of the dry powder, washed
down with a swallow of water. Thle
has been found to assist the stomach
and liver to carry on their normal
work, and helps prevent, or relieve,
constipation.
Your druggist can supply you with
this well-known, purely-vegetable llvet
medicine. Insist upon Thedford's, the
original and only genuine Black
Draught liver medicine. NC-137a
