Why do most people choose a popular laxative instead of a less er known product? Ans. Because a popular-seller can generally be counted on to give satisfaction or it could not have won the respect of its users. Ques. What is one laxa tive that has been a popular-seller with four generations? Ans. Black Draught. QUes. Why is Black Draught made in 2 forms? Ans. Because many think the new gran ulated form is even easier to take. Black-Draught costs only 25c for 25 to 40 doses, it is purely herbal, usually gentle, prompt, thorough.

LEGION NEWS (BY JULIUS E. HILL) (Post Publicity Officer) LEGION NEWS When this reporter was on his way from church, he dropped into Mack’s Cafe to get a bite to eat he was informed that it was clos ing its doors for the last time that night, Sunday, March the 28th ’ ***** This closing however need not cause any wcrry among lovers of well cooked and tastily served meals; for around the fifteenth of April Alonzo “Mack” McGruder will open his new lunch room in the building recently purchased by Theodore Roosevelt Post No. 30 of the American Legion located on the northwest corner of 24th and Parker Streets. ***** Everywhere “Mack” has served meals and lunches he has had a large following. And there is little or no doubt but what the ma jority of his customers will be served by him when he is all set to open up in the legion hall. And Roosevelt Post joins with him in extending a warm and hearty welcome to all his many friends and customers to ‘come up and see Us not sometime but often! ***** With due respect and praise for the past officers who were in off ice before them and acknowledg ing fully the part they have played int the Present program being put over by Roosevelt Post, none the less it must be stated as well that the present officers are certainly carrying on with vengeance from where they left off! And comm ander comrade Jake Carey is the answer. T o put over its present program it would be very difficult to find a man beter qualified than com rade Carey. Although possessing congenial traits he is very exact ing in his business dealings. There car. be no half way measures with him. It is whoel hog or none. [Therefore members of the post I know with him at the helm they i will be steered through the treach erous waters of doubt and uncer tainty to eventual success no mat ter how big their program. --- MOVIE ACTORS AID IN FUND TO DEFEND “BERTH 13” MURDER CASE LOS Angeles, April 3 (AMP) Promising the Cooks and Waiters Union to aid by their presence in seeing that an accused member gets necessary counsel for a fair trial, Hollywood movie actors will aid in raising funds for the defence of Robert Lee Folkes, charged with the Berth 13 murder of a wo man passenger on a speeding nas senger train near Albany, Ore. They were to appear at a dance On April l at Elks hall. Folkes will go to trial on April 7 on a charge cf murder at Albany and funds raised at the dance will go to pay attorney fees. ‘‘Grave doubts exist as to Folkes* guilt and it is imperative that his constitutional rights to a fair trial be safeguarded by seeing to it that he has competent counsel,” a spok esman for a citizens committee which is sponsoring the affair said in explaining the commttee’s in terest in the matter. It was pointed 0ut that despite the conflicting statements and “confessions” made by Folkes, the TO START TOUR IN MAY Cootie Williams physical facts surrounding the murder all indicate Folkes’ inno cence. Detailed examinations of Folkes clothing and chemical an alysis of scrapings from his fin ger nails and shoes how that no blood or other incriminating evi dence of any kind was revealed. Other discrepancies in the chaii of circumstances which have been pointed to as connecting Folkes with the murder are the fact that the marine who is reported as hav ing seen Folkes fleeing from the reath car was extremely vague in his explanations as to how and why he discovered the woman’s plight and was able to dress fully at the time he made the chase. Fellow workers of Folkes, who was a second cook on the train are unanimous in disavowing belief in his guilt and pointed to the fact that he performed all of his usual duties on the morning when the killing occurred. They also said that they noted nothing unusual in his demeanor. Movie stars scheduled to appear at the dance included Ben Carter, Hattie McDaniels, Ernest Whitman Nicodemus, DOoley Wilson, Clar ence Muse, Herbie Jeffries and Louise Beavers. AH NOW, MR. FARLEY! (continued from p 1) was second man in the governm ent. Wallace has ot been gagged as was Garner, for that reason, no one knows. Wallace has frequent ly spoken for the administration and until recently, his speeches were taken as being the will of the White House. However, a recent national poll showed that Wallace -was the peo ple’s choice for presidential nom inee in the event Roosevelt didn't run for the fourth term, and sec ond Wallace was Paul V. McNutt, who is digging himself a fox hole as far as Negroes are concerned. Thinking Negroes, and there are a few who have not benefited by the largest of the administration pork barrel, will have much to ash the administration when Mr. Roose velt comes up for a fourth term. First; what happened to the FE COOTIE WILLIAMS AND ORK START COUNTRY WIDE rOl'R IN MAY PUPIL AND TEACHER CLASH IN DUEL OF SWING AT SAVOY BALLROOM A red hot contest of friendly ri valry. which is attracting wide at tention in swing circles, is now on full blast in New York’s famed Savoy Ballroom. This musical natch is made doubly interesting because Cootie literally grew up in Duke Ellington’s band, where ne was ace trumpeter for more ;han 12 years. The best of friends these two top notchers and their lot-sending bands are figuratively speaking, literally blowing each other off the stand, much to the ielight and fancy floor cutting of 3avoy patrons. Cootie Williams, who got hi3 first real break with Ellington, to day is internationally famed as a trumpeter and handleader. He :ame up the hard way.... over a rough and thorny road, calculated to have discouraged a less talent ?d and detrmined man. With his hot-sending band, which ranges easily from the symbolic to devast Ing swing, he is not only reverb erating the rafters of the Savoy Ballroom, but his popular musical interpretations are broadcast three times a week over the network of Mutual Broadcasting System. Cootie Soon win end his engage nent at the Savoy, and in May ('’ill set out upon a tour of the country. PC which was a creature of Mr Roosevelt's creation?

GREENFIEED) One should set a goal of emul ation to have a vision without which a nation, a people perish. The sky is our limit—shoot at the stars. No one can hinder you from shooting. You may hit the top of the tower on some skyserap per or in other words you cannot fail. When one is constantly looking up, there can be no going backward. One climbing a moun tain is always looking up and for ward because his goal is the sum mit or the top. So it is with a per son on life’s journey. The turn ing point in one’s life is the on ward march is by trying to Em ulate the masterful deeds of some eminent persons who are a success. It is very noble for anyone being worthy of emulation. Reading the life of famous people is a good habit forming for the person so engaged. It forms character and a desire to reach the goal. In life there is plenty of room at the top. •so many fall by the wayside and fail to rise and make another try —none can hold another down, i ft is said “we are our worst ene- ■ mies.” We have never been whip ped unless we think we are. Fail ure comes in our thinking failure. If you do not succeed at first try again. Many great men failed be fore they succeeded. But they were undaunted and were a suc cess. Many could not read Or write until they were of mature age. Frederick Douglass was a man before he could read or writs. Vet he became a great race leader, author and statesman of his day. He kept on shooting at the stars. His determination was to succeed! Our youth should have the life and books of our great leaders before them, so that they could have their lives to Emulate. They would strive to equal or excel them. With the vision before them of other great men and women who laid the foundation on which t< ECZEMA EASE THAT ITCH SUCCESSFULLY!
