Railway bridge three feet and having
the tracks in condition SO that the
heaviest train might pass over the
bridge within seven hours after the

started was the remarkable engineer
ing feat performed by the Grand

hours after the first plank had been
changed the tracks on each side of the
draw had been raised and train
passed over the entire length of the
bridge and draw. The work of placing
the new steel draw in place is nearing
completion and when the work is com

When the Hagenbeck-W Wallace shows

to ask a favor of the management OF

life until few weeks ago when one
night he noticed the ground broken
and pushed up around the vicinity of
the Swedish turnips. Upon closer
examination, he was startled to find
that they had grown almost foot
during the night. Since then they
have grown SO that now they appear
more like the stump of an oak tree
than toothsome vegetable. Mr..
Mitchell is at a loss to account for the
strange freaks and although he has
apprised his friends of the facts in the
matter and asked them to come out
and see them, they have refused to
believe him or go out and verify his
story.
Mr.. Mitchell plans to have the ele-
plant and the stake puller used in
getting them out of the ground and
rolled onto a ,og wagon. so that he
can bring them down town and show
them to the pessfmists, who have re-
fused to credit his story.

CALOMEL GIVES ONLY
TEMPORARY RELIEF
So Powerful 1t Shocks Liver and Leaves
1t Weaker than BefOre-DOdsOn's
Liver Tone a Perfect Substitute

Nearly everybody who has ever tried
calomel for constipation or a sluggish
liver has found that it gives only a
temporary relief. For calOmel is such
a powerful drug that it shocks and
weakens the liver and makes it less
able afterward to do it's duty than in
the first place.
This is one of the reasons why the
Court Pharmacy would rather sell
Dodsons Liver Tone to you than Gallo
mel. We know that Dodsons Liver
Tone is a pure vegetable liver tonic
that will cure constipation quickly and
gently without any danger of bad after
effects. We guarantee it to do this
with guarantee that is simple and
fair. If you buy bottle of Dodsons
Liver Tone for yourself or your child
rem, and do not find that it is a per-
feet substitute for calomel, :hen come
back to the store and get your money.
If you don't get value for your money
out of this tonic, it's your right to ex-
pect your money back, and we will
gladly give it to you.
