Cruelty to Women.

We wonder what death the man will
die or what tortured life he will be
caused to lead who discovered the lit
tie trick by which a woman's age
can be ascertained beyond a doubt
that is to say. while her health is
normal The only instrument required
is an ordinary watch. The wrist OF
the lady whose age is in question is
the telltale, for when you count hel
pulse and it registers sixty-nine beats
per minute you know that she is be
tween twenty and twenty-five year:
old. During the next five years seven
ty-One beats go to the minute. and the
femme de trente ans and over is en-
titled to seventy thr0bS. 1t is pity
the man OF science who established
these facts is not more exact whe,
dealing with the women Of ripper age

it is only after she IS thirty that wo

CALOMEL SOMETIMES CAUSES
SALIVATIONI.
Dodson's Liver-Tone Has all TIE
Medicinal Prop critics of Caloncel
With None Of The Danger
Gus After-Effects.

You can get along without taking
calomel yourself or giving ii to
your family when you can buy a
substitute for it as good as Dodson's
Liver-Tone. Dodson's Liver-Tone is
a pure, harmless vegetable liquid
that starts the liver to action just
as surely as calomel does. But, un-
like calomel, Dodson's Liver-Tone
does not stimulate the liver too
much. 1t cures constipation gently
instead Of making you more bilious
than you were at first, and it can no
more salivate you than tablespoon
full of maple syrup can salivate you.
Dodson's Liver-Tone has given
such perfect satisfaction to ev+ y
person to whom E. T. Whitehead
Company, Scotland Neck, N. c.,
have sold a bottle that this store
will give the money back to any
person who buys a bottle and does
not find it a perfect substitute fol
calomel. 1t is worth something to
you to try medicine with guar.
antee like that.

Heart.

Heart.
IT can't endure much exercise,
signs some poor fellow. 81 have
weak heart. In fact | don't really ex-
ercise at ALL don't dare to-. And
the truth is that he does not do much
of anything that enables him to taste
the real pleasures of living. Too many
men and women who believe that they
have weak hearts live on and on, al
ways dreading to act as other and
happier people do, always trying to
stave off the death that they believe
to be inevitable if anything like exer-
ton is undertaken by them. Now, how
do you go about Strengthening the
weak muscles Of the arm and leg!
You exercise them, and, from being
soft, fabby and all but useless. they
become hard, firm and enduring. The
heart itself may be defined as one
great muscle; it is one mass OF mus
cular tissue; it is composed of great
number of constituent muscles. and
every one of these is capable of being
STRENGTHENED and hardened SO as to
resist all ordinary strains. Thus the
organ may be made to do its work in
the manner that nature intended it to.
