No farm was never improved by
planting any crop continually on
The land and depending on COM
mercial fertilizer to make it. That
is the road to soil exhaustion
That was worn the rich soils of
the wheat lands Of the Northwest,
the tobacco soils Of the upper
South and the cotton lands Of
the South. 1t is responsible for
the deep, red gullies in the Pied
mont section, for the old-field
pines ali over the South. Brooms-
edge and the pines on the cid
fields are doing thoi" best to re-
store the humus man has wasted,
and we can learn from them what
is needed and can do it more rap
idly than the broomsedge and the
pine trees do. Get at it and beat
the pines-W. F. Massey.

HAVE YOU EVER TAKEN
CALOMEL?
Next Time Don t Do It. It's Dang
erous. Try Dodson's Liver
Tone Instead-It's Safe.

You ought to know what dan
gerous and uncertain drug the
chemical, calomel, is. Perhaps
you know several people who
have been salivated by what they
thought was a very light dose OF
calomel.
Next time you have an attack
Of biliousness, or when your LIVER
has gotten sluggish, come to John
R. Taylor's drug store and ask
for a bottle of Dodson s Liver
Tone. You will find it a pleasant
tasted liquid and a perfect sub
stitute for calomel in every re-
spect and without the dangerous
after effects Of calomel.
Dodson s Liver-Tone gives the
liver just the amount Of gentle
stimulation it needs to induce it
to do its work properly and thor
oughly. John r. Taylor's drug
store will give you your money
back any time. DodsOn s Liver.
Tone fails to prove self per-
feet substitute for calom !.
