I had a stubborn case of
constipation after a very
severe spell of grip,” says
Mr. John B. Hutchison, of
Neosho, Mo. "When I would
get constipated, I’d feel so
sleepy, tired and worn-out.
"When one feels this way,
work is much harder to do,
especially farm work. I
would have dizzy headaches
when I could hardly see to
work, but after I read of
Black-Draught, I began tak-
ing it. I did not have the
headaches any more.
"When I have the sluggish,
tired feeling, I take a few
doses of Black-Draught, and
it seems to carry off the
poison and I feel just fine. I
use Black-Draught at regu-
lar intervals. It is easy to
take and I know it helps me.”
This medicine is compos-
ed of pure botanical roots and
herbs. Contains no chemi-
cals. In 25-cent packages.

1929 and October 3, 1930, $1,610.10
was paid out of the chest funds for
groceries; $91.20 for drugs; $56.08
for dry goods; $80.65 for emergency
items (cash advanced); $210.68 for
miscellaneous items. Let’s take a
look at that stupendous grocery bill.
The individual family orders range
from around $2.50 to $8.00. The
average indigent family applying for
aid is .out of “everything” and their
condition, too, is generally traced
to poor management and ignorance
of money values. However, this is
not always the case. The applicant
gives an order for things thought
necessary. Mr. Price looks it over.
He knows food values; his long ex-
perience in business enables him to
balance an order. He never O. K.’s

this insures that every cent given
to the community chest is 100 per
cent effective in relieving want.
Yet it insures that no hungry per-

Mr. Price has never been known
to turn a deaf ear to the needy,
and day or night, he is on the job. i
He has willingly faced the coldest
