Relieves Constipation
From many states come reports
like the following from Mr. W. M.
Henderson, of Jasper, Fla: "I have
been taking Thedford's Black-
Draught twenty years. I take It
for constipation that gives me a
dull, tired, aching feeling, and I
have headache, too. Black-Draught
relieves me of this trouble, After
a few doses, I feci as good as new.
I keep it in my home. I have a
big family. Whnn one of us is ail-

Black-Draught and almost always
feel a lot better. It has been
worth its weight in gold to my
family." . . . Sold in 25v packages.

abstracts important
toward securing loans
More uniformity in the preparation
of abstracts and that they be made
less voluminous and less expensive,
was asked by A. C, Williams, presi-
dent of the Federal Land Bank of
Houston in an address before the
twenty-seventh annual convention of
the Texas Title Association, held in
Galveston Tuesday .
More than 32,000 loans, aggregat-
ing approximately $98,000,000 have
been made by the Federal Land
Bank acting for itself and as agent:
for the Land Bank Commission, since;
June 1, 1933. Mr. Williams said, and
several thousand applications are be
ing held up by the bank pendng rece
ipt of abstract and curativ matter.
After expressing appreciation of
the cooperation that has been shown
generally by abstractors of the state, j
Mr. Williams outlined the require-
ments in abstracs of title incident to
closing a Federal land bank or land
bank commission's loan. He also
called attention to the present lack:
of uniformity in prices of abstracts;
and the wide varations in charges. j
The government has providede a
means whereby farmers may refin-
ance their obligations on a sound
i basis and at a low rate of interest.
I If they find it difficult to avail them
| selves of this aid by reason of exces t
I sive costs of abtracts, lie continued,
i we may expect a demand for the de-
! velopment of a plan of title insur
ance, which will make it unnecessary
j for those who apply for loans by the
Federal land hank, the Lank Bank
| Commissioner, and other government
agencies to furnish a complete ab-
[ stract of title covering their prop^r-
i ty." 1
