PAs"nre is only one of the seven

are perseverance, quick perception.

SAFER THAN CALOMEL
DOdsOn's Liver Tone at Night Will Straighten You Out by Morning CaIomel May Knock You Out
 of a Days Work

If you are a calomel user, next time you are tempted to buy it ask your druggist if he can abso- lutely guarantee the drug not to harm you. He won't do 1t because he CAN'T do it.
 But here is a perfect substitute for calomel which the druggist does guarantee-the famous bod sons Liver Tone. The Newark Drug Co. will refund your money without question if you are not thoroughly satisfied.
 Go to the NewarkDrug Go. whom you are acquainted with-and find out about the great number of people who are taking this remark able remedy and feeling better, keener, healthier, and better able to enjoy life than they ever were when taking calomel.
 Why? Because calomel is a pois- on-one that may stay in the sys- tenn, and while seeming to benefit you temporarily, may do harm in in the end. If you haven't felt the ill-effects so far, it is because you are fortunate enough to have a strong constitution.
 Don't take the risk any longer. Get a bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone(50c) and note how easily and naturally it corrects all bilious conditions, how it clears away that sick headache and coated tongue, how 1t sets you right without ache or gripe. The most wonderful thing in the world for constipation.
 All this without the slightest in- reference with your regular hab- its. Adv.

SCHOOLS GAINS E PER CENT
Advancement in State High
 Schools Very Gratifying

A table of high schools statistics prepared in the State Department of Pubnc Instruction and amour ced recently shows an increase of 74.5 per cent in enrolment dur ing the last two years, there being 11,704 high school students last year. The school buildings through out the state have been improved and made modern in every respect and S1 new buildings have been erected.
 State aid has caused most of the growth in our high schools. The state high schools are required to give free tuition to all pupils of the county prepared to enter high school. This provision has greatly strengthened the rural schools and has fixed definite standard for common school graduates.
 During the first two years of state aid 3,400 rural students took advantage of the free tuition. This free tuition also is given teachers, 2,700 being enrolled in state high schools during the school years 1911-12 and 1912-13. During this same period 4,100 high school stu dents studied agriculture. The re- ports for this, the third year, of state aid, show that the increase that will be reckoned next June will be far in excess of that of past school years.

GOVERNOR WILL
FILL VACANCY
Convinced He Has Authority to
Name Successor to Sen
ator Johnston.

birmingham, Ala. August 10.-Gov-
ernor Emmett O'Ncal tonight as a
result of constant conferences with his
the conclusion that he has authority
to appoint successor to the late SEN
ator Joseph +. Johnston at once. The
preponderance of sentiment among Wis
ittng members OF the United States
Senate and House was to the effect
that Governor O'Neal had authority to
make the appointment under the third
paragraph of the seventeenth amend =
ment to the Constitutions which reads.
This amendment shall not be so con-
strued as TO affect the election or term
OF any Senator chosen before it be-
comes valid as part of the Constitu-
ton"
Scores of wcllknown politicians are
here and the hotel lobbics tonight re-
semble big political convention. Gov
ernor ONcal probably will remain in
birmingham until Tuesday He will
review the Fourth alabama Regiment
now In camp here. and il is regarded
as not unlikely that an appointment
OF an Alabama Senator will be made
before he returns to Montgomery.
Among those most prominently men,
toned as possible appointees are:
Congressman Henry D. Clayton. John
Is. Knox, OF Admission: Congressman j.
t. Helm and Congressman o. w. Un-
defwood. II Il special election is held
II Is thought Congressman r. r. Hob
