”1 BAT> ft stubborn case
of const ipatiou after ft
very severe spoil of grip,”
says Mr. John B. Hutch: •
ton, of Neosho, Mo.
"When ! would get consti
pated, I’d fuel so sleepy,
tired and worn-out
"When one feels this
way, work is much harder
to do, especially farm
work. I would have dirty
headaches when I could
hardly Bee to work, but
after I rend of Black
Draught I began taking
it I did not have the
headache any more.
"When I have the slug
gish, tired feeling, I take
a few doses of Blupk
Draught, and it seems to
carry off the poison and I
feel just fine. I use Black
Draught at regular inter
vals. It is easy to take
and I know it helps me.”
This medicine is com
posed of pure botanical

he cost is Small
Wherever
Yeti call
Talking to out-of-town relatives
or friends is the most pleasing
and satisfactory means of com
munication. Telephoning is just Slice being there
in person and the cost is surprisingly small. When
using Day Station-to-Statinn service you can talk
a distance of one hundred miles for approxi
mately sixty cents and by using the same service
after 8:30 at night you can talk that far for as
little as thirty-five cents. The cost of talking greater
distances is correspondingly small.
People everywhere are daily experiencing en
joyable chats with relatives and friends in other
cities. You, too, can afford such pleasures. Re
