DRUGGIST GIVES MONEY BACK
Dodson's Liver Tone Gets a Four
Square Guarantee from B. [. II
Browder's Drug Store.

@4 - ~ - - ~'~-so 0s0s -
When an article is sold a druggist
who is willing to give it his personal
guarantee it's mighty strong proof
Of real merit.
That's exactly the case with Dod-
sons Liver Tone. 1t is pleasant
tasting, vegetable remedy for a slow
and sluggish liver. Since Dodson's
Liver Tone came on the market the
sale Of calomel has gone way down.
The reason is simply this: Dodson's
Liver Tone is safe and harmless and
guaranteed to be satisfactory Gallo
mel is often uncertain, sometimes dan
gerous, and no druggist wants to
guarantee that it won't knock you out
of a DAYS work and maybe send you
to bed.
r. L. Browder sells Dodson's Liver
Tone and guarantees it. For you and
for your children, lis good thing to
keep a bottle always in the house. :.
B. L. Browder will give you your
money backif you think Dodson's Liv-
er Tone IL not worth the price. Keep
your liver working and your liver will
not keep you from working" is good

The Fence Law Question.

lNDHr ENDENI
Just a few words to the readers Of
the Independent and the farmers of
old McNairy county. The writer has
been farmer in McNairy county for
more than 40 years and has the in
terest Of the farmer in mind. The
proposition which We propose to. dis
cnss is strictly a business and econom-
ical one. As every one knows there
has been much said about the stock
law and many people fall out and be-
come enemies, instead of friends as
all good citizens should be.
From close observation | find that
many people who have been bitterly
opposed to the whole thing are now
anxious for a hog law. Now, let's
view this matter from an impartial
standpoint and weigh this matter and
try to decide whether it is to the in
terest Of the average farmer or not,
both land owners and renters. What
Is to the interest of one should be to
the interest Of the other. We all
know that the fences all over the
county are very sorry and in almost
every community there has been corn
destroyed by hogs and hogs killed and
lawsuits have resulted, maybe over
hog that was not worth two dollars.
All this has taken place among neigh
bors who otherwise would have been
good friends. Every one will admit
that three or four hogs kept up and
well cared for are worth more than a
dozen running outside and not fed,
and it is generally known that hogs
which are kept up and properly cared
for seldom ever die from cholera or
other diseases.
Now, let's talk about this matter
among our Magistrates and among
ourselves without prejudice and try
to decide which is best for us as farm
ers. We know there are some local
tiles it would not suit, but if it is to
the interest Of three men to put the
hog up to where it is to the interest
Of one to turn him out it seems to
me that this one man, if a reasonable
one, would 60 with the three; and if
on the other hand, it is just the re-
verse we should 60 with the other
side. Is there man who will argue
that the keeping up Of these fences
and water gates will not cost twice
as much as the difference in the feed?
The best hogs the Writer has seen
ii many 4 day never were outside and
were less than one and q half years
old. They wers killed BY an acquaint-
ance this winter and dressed from $50
TO above 500 pounds.
Now, I understand it is in the pow
or Of our County Court to give US a
8 or 4 wire Law il they see proper.
OF course no good Magistrate would
act on this until be had consulted bis
constituents, but let every one begin
at once to talk It over and try to de-
eide what is best for the county.
There never has been nor never will
Be . law enacted that will suit every
one, but let's have laws that will do
the most good to the most people,
Lets hear from others on this subject.
A FARMER.

ERUPTION LIKE PIMPLEs

Wathena, Kan.-'My child's scalp
trouble became SO bad that l was
ashamed to have anyone see him. His
head had a solid seal on 1t. He also
had a terrible breaking out on his face
which was gradually growing worse.
The eruption was like pimples which
developed into sores when he scratch
ed, which he did almost constantly.
Baby would almost scratch himself
raw.
81 had used several different kinds
of salve, none of them helping in the
least bit, when I saw the Cuticura ad-
vertisement in the paper and 1t made
me think Of the good results my sister
had when she used 1t for her children.
/ had only used Cuticura Soap and
Ointment about two weeks before I
noticed that the sores were almost en-.
tirely gone, and 1t must have been q
month or six weeks he was troubled
before I began the treatment. He
would get easy when I would put the
Cuticura Ointment on him. Cuticura
Soap and Ointment completely cured
him and he has a clear complexion
now" (Signed) Mrs. w. H. Hughes.

HERO WILL MARRY NURSE
Clerk Gives Enough Of His Skin to
Prevent Death n Thus Meets
Future Iielpmeet.

New York.-When five-year-old Ber-
tina Wachter came home from n hos
pital with burns, which six weeks ago
seemed certain to cause her death,
well healed, a pretty a became
known.
Charles Kaplow, a swimming in
structor of the Young Mems Christian
association, while temporarily employ
ed as a clerk at Roosevelt hospital,
overheard a nurse say that Bertha
Wachter was dying in st. Marks hos
pital because no M could be found
who was willing to give enough skin to
be grated on the girl to save her life.
Kaplow soon announced casually
that he was going out" He sought
the strange little girl. and insisted that
he part with enough Of his skin to save
her. His modest sacrifice made him
such a hero that he received notes
from several nurses, asking him to
marry them.
Kaplow, however, confined to a hos
pital cot for two weeks after the re-
moval Of the skin, scorned the pro-
posals from others, and made one him
self to Miss Edith Lee, the nurse at
tending him. 1t was accepted immedi-
ately.
