BILIOUSJHACKS From Which Kentucky Man Suf fered Two or Three Times a Month, Relieved by Black-Draught. Lawrenceburg, Ky.—Mr. J. P. Kevins, a local coal dealer and far mer, about two years ago learned of the value of Thedford’a Black Draught liver medicine, and now he says: “Until then I suffered v;i.h so vere bilious attacks that canto on two or three times each month. I would get nauseated. I would have dizziness and couldn’t work. “I would take pills until I wav worn-out with Uicm. I didn’t seem to get relief. After taking the piiis my bowels would act a couple or three times, then I would be very constipated. “A neighbor told me of Black Draught and I began its use. I never have found so much relief as it gave me. I would not be without it for anything. “it seemed to cleanse my whole system and make me feel like new. I would take a few doses—get i,.< or the bile and have my usual clear head, feel full of ‘pep’ and could do twU.‘ the work.” One cent a dose.

Everett Toms Finds Petrified Banana Stalk In Coal Pile And The Coal Wan Shipped From West Virginia. Was That A Tropi cal Country At One Time? Laughing about it? Well, we’ve got it here in the .office, open to inspec tion if anyone doubts it. Frankly, it’s the greatest curiosity we’ve seen for many a duv-*— a p'cce of iiKhihitahle banana stalk of ! joints about five inches loner, but hardened into the flintiest kind of rock. The phoneme non was found by Everett Toms, yountf son of Mr. R. V. Toms, of the city water and light department, mixed in with a consignment of coal delivered to the city pump-station the past week, and he consented to leave it at the Star office for a day or two. The object is a perfect example of petrification, every marking and in denture being absolutely as thc\ ’re it, the stalks that are seen, in the gar bage cans of any fruit stand, yet it looks and feels exactly like a rock What a history the thing must have! Probably one of Mr. Harrow’s anthro poidean ancestors feasted copiously upon a bunch of the luscious bananas long aeons tvro. and despite the pro tests of his order-loving mate, care lessly cast the stripped stalk into the clean-swept front yard. A titanic up heaval buried the unsighlv object, subjected it to intense heat and ter lifie pressure, and at last, some liter al-minded miner in this day of fliv vers and flyers dug the object from the ground along with ids country men’s supply of coal. “Petrified Ba nana Stalk”— Hut seriously, it is impossible to overestimate the geological import ance of this discovery. As everyone knows, bananas grow only in tropical regions, and the coal in wh'ch this specimen was found was taken from the Blue Gem mines .in the north eastern sections of West Virginia, a region which lacks a lot of being tropical. In some period before the ice age, this part of the country must have been a jungle such as is found in the states of Florida and California today, with bananas growing as pro fusely there as they do now in the southernmost countries. For in no other way could a stalk have gotten there. Catches Record Size Turtle With- His Hands Furman Neill, of Kings Mountain section of the county, claims the record in catching turtles with his hare hands and few will wish to dis pute his claims. Furman brought one tied in a sack to town the other day in his Ford. It welshed several ounces over fifteen pound.;. The reptile, had u mouth that was bound to cornnv.nd respect, while his feet utul claws re sembled u good-s:i*ed alligators in .point of sine, both feel and head be- i jug covered with the toughest, horn- s it at. kind of skin. Furman says that he and other ! buys catch the turtles, or “rooters," as they are called, by sticking their hands under an overhanging bank, feeling around for the “rooter,” and drugging him out by the head if he's there. He estimates that he has caught over a hundred himself, al though this is the largest that he ever got his hands on, and he has only been bitten once. Then the teeth of the thing went i-utirely through his fin ger to the twine, crushing and bruis ing like the jaws cf a pair of pliers. '“But,” he says, "They don’t bite un less you happen to stick your finger in their mouth!" In the car with the turtle was a flack of suckers that ranged in weight from an ounce or two to three or four pounds. They, too, were caught with th' turtles, in the upper stretches of ihe First Broad. And Furman catches them, also, with his hare hands, as he do?; catfish and anything else that > vvitns.

For all you know you may have a quart or two of unburnt gas in that crank case. High readings on the oil gauge don’t mean anything either. You’ll get a high reading when the oil is cold and thick and a low reading when the oil ia flowing freely. “It isn’t just pressure you need in an oil system—it’s floods of clean, cool oil. There’s just one way to be sure of giving; every bearing surface plenty of oil and that’s to change your crank case oil regularly.” The experienced Fleet Boss ought to know. He has seen the damage done by the filthy and diluted stuff that many engines have to depend on for lu* brication. The damage could have been prevented by using enough of good, clean oil. “Standard” Motor Oils are reliable products, based on fifty-five years’ experience in oil refining, and experience counts just as much in making oil as it does in keeping a big fleet of cars in perfect running order.
