-_ BLACK-DRAUGHT AS A PREVENTIVE When You Begin Feeling Bad With Feverishness, Headache, Cold, or Constipation, Give Your Liver a Tonic—Take Black-Draught. Candler, N. C—“I don't belleve there is a better medicine made than Black-Draught; I have used it and my mother's folks used it for colds, feverishness, headache and deranged liver,” This statement recently was made by Mr. C. B. Trull, a well-known farmer on Route 3, this place. “I have, before now, begun feeling dull, a headache would come on, and I would feel all full of cold, and take a few doses of Black-Draught and get all right,” adds Mr. Trull. “Last year my brother had measles, flu and pneumonia. They wired us: I went to Camp Jackson to look him up. Down there different ones were using preventatives, with him. The only thing I used was Black-Draught. It kept my system cleansed and I kept well and strong.” By keeping your liver and stomach I stayed ger of catching serious {lis occasionally spread through town and country. of a disordered liver.

Womens’ complaints often prove to be nothing else but kidney trouble, or the result of kidney or bladder disease. If the kidneys are not in a healthy condition, they may cause thse other or- gans to become diseased. Pain in the back, headache, loss of am- bition, nervousness, are often times symp toms of kidney trouble, Don't delay starting treatment. Dr. Kilmer's S8wamp-Root, a physician's pre- scription, obtained at any drug store, may be just the remedy needed to overcome such conditions.

This girl Violet Dewing, has disappeared and Searles re- fuses to allow the play to be pro- duced with anyone else in the ‘part Singleton has just returned (in- valided) from France, where he had been serving in the aviation corps. His uncle, Raymond Bash- ford, a wealthy man, had contract. ed a marriage a short time before his death, while on a visit to Japan He left Singleton a comparatively small amount of money and the privilege of residence in the “ga- rage” of his summer home, Bar- ton-on-the-Sound, Connecticut, Mrs, Bashford is believed to be travel- ing In the Orient. ‘he household at Barton is made up of elderly employees of the Tyringham, a New York hotel, where Bashford made his home By the terms of his will these people are to have a home at Barton for the rest of their lives. Singleton goes to Bar- ton, taking with him the manu- script of “Lady Larkspur.” ¥ he finds the household strangely upset, some of its members being suspected by their comrades of pro- Germaniam, Antoine, head of the establishment, informs him that he has been perplexed by the some- what mysterious visits of a stranger, apparently a foreigner, seeking Mrs Bashford Antoine has formed f the male members of the household into a guard for pro- tection Singleton “Lady Larkspur” with approval “Aunt Alice” arrives ily. with a lively out to be young Mrs. Farnsworth is companion reads unexpect reception and her CHAPTER Ii1—Continued, me Gp Antoine departed with the shoulders, and the visitors who had so troubled matter squarely “Please don’t be frighten possible, “bu are full of apprehensior alarmed who been by an wants to welcome ¥ by i selling - you a Antoine had been hover and my remark door, SR er we that different, brought the Mr. Singlefon. but an t quite agent, but Cume house, pardon, party is not sir.

Torrence arrived in a moment, and nothing has ever given me keener Joy than bis shock of surprise at beholding Mrs. Bashford. I was devoutly grate- ful that he had not been present at the dinner-table, for my own efforts to Interest Torrence In anything but the most practical matters had always been highly unsuccessful, and the dis cussion of ghosts and witches would hardly have amused him. As Mra, Farnsworth and I took up the recent movements on the western front 1 overheard Torrence putting all the machinery of the trust company at Mrs. Bashford's disposal. It seemed almost a blasphemy to be talking of income and like rmaatters to a woman like Alice Bashford! They continued their conference for some time, but I got nothing out of Mrs. Farnsworth that shed any light on my aunt's history beyond what she had told me herself, which wus pre- cious little. Mrs, Farnsworth's talk was that of a cultivated woman. Her voice Interested unaccountably ; the tones had all manner of shadings and inflections: it was curiously mu- sical, but in speaking of the great war 4 passionate note crept into it that stirred me deeply. “This has been a dark year for Alice,” she remarked. “Mr. Bashford's death, followed quickly by that of her brother—an only son—piled a cruel burden of grief upon the dear child. She wants to go back to England to nurse the wounded, to do anything for our dear country, but I want to keep her here a little while until can readjust herself.
