A icclae Laxative
Has to be Good!

The hardest test of any product is the use-test. It is especially
true of a laxative, which is used
under all kinds of conditions.

' Yet one herbal laxative has
been tested in use by four gen
erations, and proved so goud that
_ today it~s a standby with thousands of ~~amihes ~ BLACKDRAUGHT! a

BLACK-DRAUGRT

This spicy compound of vege-.

table ingredients has proved itself. The hasic herb is an ~intestinal tonic-laxative~ which
helps tone lazy intestinal muscles.
Other herbs in the blend make

and gentle in action.

~When you need a laxative, give

Announcement on Sept. 20

single salary

The ~new plan was revealed in
the U. S. District Court for the
Eastern District of Tennessee be
fore Judge Leslie~ R. Darr when
NAACP attorneys for the teachers
and counsel for the school hoard
appeared to argue court jurisdic
tion.

In addition to the new salary
scale, the school board stated that
62 per cent of the $40,000 now in
the treasury marked for increases
in salaries for all teachers, will ge
to Negro teachers.

The board also agreed to take
steps for complete equalization of
teachers~ salaries under the new
schedule; but stated that it will
~take a little time.~

Attorneys, for the plaintiff would

not dismiss the case on such 2
promise, but had it placed on the
inactive calendar so that it may be
called up again at any time. This
means that if the board does not
make good its promise the complaint may again be heard in court.

The teachers were represented by
W. Henry Elmore, of this city, and
Thurgood Marshall, special cotnsel of the NAACP.

Half--Jameson -
Sensible Shoes
Are Now Worn At
Work and Play

By HIELEN JAMESON
(Distributed by King Features Syndicate, Inc.)

He was a chatty little shoe clerk.
He had an observing mind and a
keen eye. Ele had learned a lot
about women~s ideas as to how they
should shod. For some of these ideas
he has little respect because he believes that voenitv plays too large
a part in the selection of leather
casings.

~The only small feet you
these days are those of the old
girls,~ he said. ~They retarded foot
development by wearing shoes that
not only interferred with muscle
-health but causec. vone deformities.
Chinese foot binding wasn~t much
worse than the torture women endured forty or fifty years ago. Women were not athieiic, so feet were
not exercised. Feet must have been
just about good for nothing.

AVERAGE IS 6 1-2

~The average size of shoe worn
by girls twenty years old~I mean
this year~s girls~is six and one-half
Many wear shoes much larger. In
grandmaw~s days a four was a social disgrace. So, the bigger the
foot, the younger the woman these
days. I can~t see any charm in
extremely small feet. They should
be in proportion with the. weight
and measurement of the body. A~
large woman- toddling round with
her tootsies cramried into small
shoes is not an-allvring sight. She
looks top heavy.~

There you ace. The world is
better for femin.: pedals~ than it
was in the days of yore. All that re
ground instead of - Having them
hoisted up on spiked heels with
bases the size of a dime. Time is
with us in this campaign. ~More
sensible shoes are being sold every
year. ~

Chiropodists claim that the prop
sports and walking measures one
and one-fourth inches. Get; out
your tape measure and see how you
stand. If you are a house wife you
should wear oxfords, wide of sole
with plenty of toe space. If you hobble around in discarded party shoes
that provide no proper support, you
are doing yourself an injustice. It
May be because of foot discomfort
that you find the domestic job
wearing and your disposition not as
sunny as it used to be.

WEAR SENSIBLE SHOES

Chripodists make this concession;
if you wear sensible shoes during
the day they~ll let you dance around
on high heels at night. Once a
woman enjoys foot comfort she'll
hate the sight of spikes.

Lazy women develop. high arches,
too active women low arches. The
ideal arch is the medium one. What
about yours? What about your ankles? The correctly formed one has
a graceful inward curve about one
inch above the ankle bone, then
does a gradual outward curve into
the calf of the leg. It isn~t the

as much as the contour.

increasing foodstuffs production,
