Back Should There Ever Be Case
Where DOds0n's Liver Tone Fails.
Dodson's Liver Tone is mild veg
etable Liver Tonic which operates so
successfully in cases of constipation,
torpid liver or biliousness that it
has practically taken the place of cal
omel-the drug which is so often dan
gerous. The Seminole Pharmacy who
sell Dodson's Liver Tone, recon-
mends it as reliever of constipation,
sour stomach, biliousness and slug
gish liver. 1t works gently, surely
and harmlessly. If a bottle should
ever fail to give satisfaction the Sem
mole Pharmacy will refund the price
paid without question.
The price of Dodson's LIVER Tone is
SOC per bottle. Be sure you get Dod-
sons Liver Tone and not some medi-
cine put up in imitation that is not
backed up by guarantee and that
may contain harmful drugs.

A WORD OF EXPLANATION
O-o

\ POLOGIES and explanations are A never agreeable, nor is shop
 talk edifying However, The Empire is called upon today for a word that involves all of these on account of it's nOn-appearance yesterday and the probability that it will reach its readers late today
 Sunday the Alaska Electric Light and Power company, that furnishes the power necessary for the operation of the linotype machine, switched it's ser vice over to the new machinery. This necessitated the installation of a new motor. which was done immediately. IL was then discovered that the new ar engagement and the specially ordered motors would not adjust It required all the men that the lighting company could put Co work on the lines until noon today to get things working har moniously. There Is some compensa- ton, however. in the lact that the pow CT furnished by the company and the HeW motors are giving those that use this class of power a greatly improved service. and the likelihood Of a failure Is not nearly so great as it has been in the past.

IMPROVED SITUATION AT NOME

7-HE later news from Nome that l the situation there is not so bad
 as it was feared that it would be @ill be welcomed by everybody. The blow has been a severe one, but the recovery of much Of the stock of pro visions that it was feared would be lost will permit the people of that city to look upon the approach of winter with something approaching equanimi- ty.
 Every cent of the money that has 6een sent to Nome will be required, nc doubt, to relieve conditions of those there in actual need. Even 75 desti tute people in a small community, dis tressed and crippled by such a disas ter as that which visited the metropo lis of BerIng sea. and so far distant from a source of supply, constitute a burden that will require all the aid that has been extended to relieve.
