DON'T SHOCK YOUR LIVER
WITH CALOMEL
Do5son's Liyer-Tone Persuades 1t tC
Work Naturally and Safely-No
Restriction Of Habits or
Diet.

If you have a sick horse, you can
not make him work by beating him,
and if you try it you are liable to
ruin him forever. It's the same
way with your liver. When it be
comes torpid and sluggish, you can
take calomel and whip it into action,
but the calomel will leave your body
weaker and sicker than ever. Gallo
mel is a very powerful chemical
made from mercury.
A perfect substitute for calomel,
that has all Of it's medicinal proper
ties with none of its dangerous and
uncertain foIlow-ups, is Dodson' S
Liver-Tone.
E. T. Whitehead Co.'S drug store
sells Dodson's Liver-Tone with the
guarantee that if you don't find it a
perfect substitute for caiomel, this
store will give you your money back
Dodson's Liver-Tone is a true tonic
for the liver, purely vegetable, and
with such a pleasant taste that it is
40 trouble to get children to take it.
It is absolutely impossible for it to
90 anyone any harm, because it
simply persuades the liver to do
what it ought to do-no more and
no less.

Eabism,

Babisni was founded in Persia
about 1876, by Sayid Mira Ali. He
took the name Of Beb-ed-din (the gate
OF the faith), whence he became
known as the Bah" and his disciples
as the 'Ba bis" The Bah, who during
Lis life maintained the highest rcputa
tiol for purity and gentleness of char
acter, was murdered at Tabriz, July 8
1850. It will be impossible to give
here anything like an intelligent &C
count Of the teachings of Babism. In
tensely mystical, it takes an Orienta,
CT the Orientals to even approximately
understand it, or to even halfway ex-
plain 1t. The Babis have teachers il
this country, and you might consult
them if you have q desire to know
what the cult IS.

A SUCCESSFUL TERM
In Public Schools Was the
One Just Closed.

"A remarkably good attendance re-
cord has been the biggest feature Of
the past term" said superintendent
T. A. Mott, today in commenting on
the first semester of the school year,
which closes this week. According to
the superintendent, the unusually
good attendance has been made pos
sible by the scarcity of sickness among
the scholars throughout the five
months. But little time has been lost
on account of illness, and the amount
of unnecessary absence and hardness
has been much reduced.
The semester has been quite sue
cessful from a scholastic viewpoint,
for the pupils have attained good
grades and worked hard. A public
night school, which fills one of the big
needs of the community, was the most
important new project launched dur
ing the past term.
Examinations are the center of in
terest at the schools through the early
part of this week. All day Thursday
and Friday morning, however, will be
vacations for the students to give the
teachers an opportunity for complet-
ing their term records. Promotion ex-
ercises and organization for the new
semester will occur Friday afternoon.

ANCIENT EMBALMERS.,

Motives Which ImpslIed the Esyp-
tians to Preserve the Dead.
To appreciate the motives which i'm
PEELED the ancient Egyptians to invent
the art of embalming it Is necessary
to throw our minds back nearly sixty
centuries. Then Egyptians were in
the habit Of burying their dead in
shallow holes scraped in the soil i'm
mediately beyond the limits Of the
narrow strip Of cultivated land. As
the result Of placing the body in hot
dry sand it frequently happened that.
instead Of undergoing process Of
decay. 1t became desiccated aud pre-
served in an incorruptible form for
IN indefinite time. The burial Of >alu-
able and useful objects with the dead
naturally led to grave robbing, which
was already common in the earliest
known prehistoric times in Egg. t.
This plundering Of graves must have
taught the people at large that the
forces Of nature were often sufficient
to preserve q dead body. In this way
it became a part Of the religion of the
Egyptians to regard the preservation
Of the body as the condition of the
attainment of Immortality.
The early Egyptians learned that the
body when placed In a coffin or buried
in q rock tomb usually underwent de-
composition. 1t was widespread be-
lief that the stone late the flesh
hence the word ''sarcophagus." Arti-
fetal mummifcation, therefore, had its
origin in an attempt to deprive the
grave Of its victory.-British Medical
