Taking Calomel for Constipa-
ton? Try Dodson's Liver
Tone Next Time
Many people take calomel to
cure constipation, and it does cure
it for one day, but two or three
days later they are sicker than
ever. That is one of the after effects
of calomel.
This is the reason why Good
mans drug store will not guarantee
calomel to be harmless. But we do
guarantee Dodsons Liver Tone to
be perfect substitute for calomel.
Dodson's Liver-Tone will cure
constipation and bilious attacks
and keep them cured. by stimulat-
ing and toning up the liver TO do its
best work. 1t is vegetable liquid
with a pleasant taste and is harm
less to children as well as grown
people. 1t livens up the liver by
natural methods, does not act so
strongly as to weaken the body,
but is safe and sure just the same.
You can buy a bottle to-day

assurance of your money back if it

BIG MISTAKE IN IRRIGATION
Common Error In Watering Potatoes
10 to Turn a Large Head In
Each FUrro~.

The most common mistake made In
the irrigation OF potatoes Is to turn
a large head In each furrow. permit II
to flow rapidly to the bottom OF the
rows and then shut It on. This way
of applying the water vets only the
surface layer and II II is now followed
up Immediately by cultivation two
days of sunshine will rob the soil OF
most of the water which has been ap-
piled and seal over the surface with
a hard crust. In this condition the
crops soon begin to suffer and the
unskilled farmer fancies that the
only remedy lies in applying more
water. A better plan is to turn only
a small amount of water Into deep
furrow and permit It to run without
stopping for hours or even for day
or night In this way the top layer
is not saturated. the soil around tho
roots and beneath them receives a
larger supply and the surface may be
cultivated shortly after each irrisa-
ton 20 as to check evaporation and
retain the moisture in the soil for the
benefit Of the crop.

CONQUEST OF GREAT DESERT
Time. Patience and Perseverance, Re-
qulred to Establish Homes In
Many Of New Districts.

In every attempt to convert desert
land into fruitful fields there is q
transition period which tries mems
souls to the utmost. The warning cry
Is often given not to allow families to
attempt to establish homes in the des-
ert lest they perish. 1t is true new
irrigated district may not be des-
ert. but 1t is closely akin to 1t and 1t
requires time. patience and self-denial
to establish homes in such places.
There Is 30 much to be done with so
little help and money that the bravest
hearts often quail before the task is
completed. It was comparatively easy
for our forefathers to establish homes
In the heavily wooded states OF the
Atlantic seaboard. and still easier for
those who first settled on the prairie
land of the Mississippi valley. writes
8. Fortier In the Field and Farm.
These men had to encounter dangers
and hardships. but the winning of
their livelihood from the soil was cas-
Ter than the task which confronts for
the first year or two the settler on a
desert farm.
The most profitable crops on an ir-
rigated farm require time to mature.
The land for vineyards for example
must be first thoroughly prepared be-
fore the plants are set in the ground.
then from two TO three years must
eIapse before any returns can be ex-
pected. Meanwhile. the expenses of
caring for the vineyard have to be
met. The same is true OF all decidu-
Gus orchards with the difference that
a longer period intervenes between
the time OF planting and profitable re-
turns. The staple crop OF the west
is alfalfa. but he who expects heavy
yield the first season after planting It
Is too often doomed TO disappoint-
ment
The new settler with limited means
has to confine his efforts during tho
first season to the seeding of small
patches OF grain and tho planting of
vegetables. BY degrees he can work
into the more profitable crops. such
as alfalfa. orchards and sugar beets.
but at first he must be content with
much smaller returns, This Is the
transition period which marks tho
passing of the desert conditions and
the Introduction OF profitable crops
under irrigation. II there is ever a
time when a new settler needs help
It IL during this period. The outlay
In both labor and money for buildings.
farm equipment. irrigation bitches and
the proper preparation OF the land is
unusually high while the returns from
the soil are correspondingly small.

SAVED FROM DANGEROUS OPERA.
TI0N--NEIGHB0R ADVISED WHAT
TO DO FOR BLADDER TROUBLE

I too wish to add my testimonial to the
Thousands you no doubt have, and will
tell you what your great medicine did for
me.
Several months ago I was taken very
sick with bladder trouble, had intense
pains and suffered greatly, at times I
could not stand on my feet or sit in .
chair and often was forced to cry out
with pain.
1 consulted two doctors who gave me
different kinds of medicine, which did me
no good. 1t seemed as though the more
of their medicine I took, the worse l be-
came. The doctors seemed to be greatly
puzzled over my case and after holding q
consultation, 1 was told that 1 had q
severe case Of Inflammation of the bladder
and an operation was very necessary.
was being prepared to be taken to the
hospital, when q neighbor came to my
house and said, why don't you try 9
bottle of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root?" I
was willing to try anything to get relief
from my suffering. My wife bought bot
tie of your medicine which began taking
and soon noticed change for the better.
I continued taking it and got better right
along, my appetite returned and 1 was
able to resume work
I have used several bottles Of Swamp
Root and know that if had not taken it,
I would have been operated on, and per-
haps never recovered. L never fail to tell
my friends about DIR. Kilmer's Swamp
Root as 1 know it will save many people
from suffering and perhaps, as in my
case, q dangerous operation.
