DON'T POISON YOURSELF

That's What You May Do If You Take
CalomeI, Because calomel Is

If you ask druggist for bi-chloride of
mercury, he will give it to you in a red
label bottle marked POISON. Calomel
is also a chloride of mercury, as your
doctor will tell you, and, as everybody
knows, mercury is a poison.
When you think you need a dose of
calomel, instead of whipping your
liver up with the mercury it contains.
go to The Century Drug Store and pay
fifty cents for bottle of Dodson's
Liver-Tone, a 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 The Century win

who tries 1t and does not find it a perl

Corn Husking
BY GEORGE FITCH,
Author of AT Good Old Slwash"

Corn husking is a national game
which begins about the time baseball
peters out and continues until the
blizzard season. 1t produces the same
distressing results to the fingers as
baseball does, but as a dividend pro-
Queer it is about a thousand times
more effective.
Corn husking is not a college di-
version but has sent thousands of
boys to college, and has given them
their sinewy wrists with which to
grasp the flying halfback by the
spinal column and check him in his
mad career. Corn husking cannot be
played in stadium or ampitheater.
1t requires as much room as golf. A
forty acre field will keep 100 golfers
busy for years, but 100 acre field
will only last two expert corn husk-
ers for a few weeks.
Corn husking is the most valuable
exercise in America. Corn that
hasn't been husked is as valueless as
a Salome dancer in street clothes.
Hundreds of throbbing geniuses have
spent their lives in trying to invent
a machine which will deity remove
an ear of corn from it's garments
and toss it into wagon, but the only
entirely reliable machine of this sort
in use is the farmer boy who rises at
a. m. and grasps 100 bushels of
corn ears firmly between his aching
thumb and forefinger before the sun
goes down.
The Hattiesburg news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1908-1917, 1912-10-24

The rules of corn husking are very
simple. The husker arms himself
with pair of large mittens with
armored thumbs and follows a wagon
across corn field denuHng two rows
of stocks as he goes and trying to
keep the horses from eating Iem-
selves to death while waiting for him.
The wagon keeps moving all day
long and if the husker is beside it at
night he wins. 1t is a very exciting
game, but one suitable for delicate
young athletes, with fragile, mani
cured fingers. Many a man who can
follow a golf ball all day long with
the grim tenacity of a foXhound fol
lowing an anise seed bag has retired
from a husking game at noon with a
low moan and a bunch of dessicated
digits.
There are many husking experts
who can keep three ears in the air
right along and can hurl 200 bushels
of corn into a wagon in 10 hours,
only missing it occasionally A man
who can do this Is more useful to
humanity than the man who can
hurl 200 spit balls per day before
shouting thousands or the daredevil
who can travel 200 miles an hour on
a motorcycle in the last stages of hy-
drophobia. There are 4,000,000,O00
bushels of corn to be undressed and
hurled in this country each fall, and
only few million red necked and
horney fingered farmer boys stand be- |
tween us and ruin.
