DON'T POISON YOUR.
SELF WITH MERCURY
That's What You May Do if You Take
Calomel, Because Calomel is a
Form of Mercury.

If you ask druggist for bi-chloride
of mercury, he will give it to you in a
red label bottle marked POISON. Cal
omel is also a chloride of mercury, as
your doctor will tell you, and, as ev-
erybody knows, mercury is poison.
When you think you need dose of
calomel, instead of whipping your liver
up with the mercury it contains, go to
the store Of John P. Jones & Co. and
pay fifty cents for bottle of Dodson's
Liver-Tone, pure vegetable liquid
that starts the liver to action just as
surely as calomel does and is perfectly
mild and harmless, with no bad after
effects. No restriction of habit or diet
Is necessary.
Dodson's Liver-Tone gives such per-
feet satisfaction in curing constipation
and torpid liver that Jno. P. Jones &
Co. will give the money back to any
person who tries it and does not find 1t
a perfect substitute for calomel.

Rally Day..Judqe Mclean Speaks.

The Rally Day" services at the
Presbyterian church last u n y
were well attended and enjoyed by all.
The program was interesting and in
structive. Te address of Judge G. A.
Mclean of Winona was full of religious
zeal and was splendid appeal for a
christian life and a nobier manhood.
The Judges illustration of what the
agnostic offers the world as contrasted
with what the christian religion offers,
was very striking and practical. In ef.
feet, the Judge said the agnostic left
the cripple in a ditch or in darkness
and gave no helping hand to aid him
out nor offered him any lamp to find his
way out of darkness. The Judge, of
course, had to suit his address both to
the children and to the grown folks,
but it was appreciated by all.
There is hardly a more earnest and
loyal band of christian workers any
where than can be found in the Pres
byterian church in Grenada. They are
alive to every good work and never
fail to push the interests Of their
church.

Ready for Collections.

The tax books of Grenada county for
the year 1912 are open and ready for
the collection of taxes. Let the public
remember that there are several thous-
and dollars in warrants outstanding and
naturally the holders of these warrants
will watch for the first opportunity to
collect them; therefore, there will be
but little money in the treasury until
these warrants are paid. For this rea-
son, as well as others, the public inter-
est will be subserved by early payments
of taxes, desire also to emphasize
the fact that the law r.akes all taxes
delinquent after December Is; hence if
your taxes are not paid by that time
and damages are ad1ed, you will have
no one to blame but yourself.
