Perfect Substitute.

Nearly everybody who has ever
tried calomel for constipation or
sluggish liver has found that It
gives only a temporary relief. For
Calomel is such a powerful drug
that it shocks and weakens the livel
and makes it less able afterward to
do its duty than in the first place.
This is one of the reasons why

STACKS OF GOLD.
Five Hundred $50 Gold Pieces to Be
Distributed Among Corn

Dallas, Texas, Nov 11-Five
hundred bright, new $40 gold pieces
in twenty-nine stacks, the biggest
containing 125 of the yellow discs,
will attract the attention of dele
gates and visitors a the third an
nual convention of the Texas Indus
trial congress, to be held in Dallas
on December 20. Fifteen of these
glittering piles of gold will be pre-
sented to the men who have this year
produced the largest and best crops
of corn and cotton, ten acres or
each, and the remaining fourteen
will be given to boys under 20 years
of age who have cultivated two acres
of corn and two acres of cotton. 1t is
possible that some of the prizes may
be awarded to women and girls, as
they, too, have contested for the
honor of the biggest yields.
The average yield of corn in Texas
in 1910 was but 20 bushels, while
the average yield of cotton per acre
in favorable years is about one-third
of bale, but the reports, verified by
proof, that these contestants Will
make, are going to be a big surprise
in this unfayorable year of drouth
as many of them have yields of corn
ranging from 80 to more than 100
bushels per acre and from one-half
to two and one-half bales of cotton.
