ACTS ON THE LIVER.
DOds0n's Liyer.TOne Liyens Up The
Liver-Is More Than A
Mere Laxative.

Calomel was for years the only
known medicine that would stimulate
the liver. But calomel is often dan
gerous and people are not to be blamed
for being afraid of it.
Within the last few. years many med
icines have been put out to be used
instead of calomel, but their effect is
on the bowels-not on the liver. The
Iowell-Prather pharmacy says that the
only real liver medicine to actually
take the place of calomel is Dodson's
Liver Tone, mild, harmless, vegeta-
BILE liquid that they recommend to
take the place of calomel and which
gives prompt relief in cases of consti
patton, biliousness and sluggish liver.
So confident is the Howell-Prather
pharmacy that they give their personal
guarantee with every 50-cent bottle of
Dodson's Liver-Tone. You can be sure
that you are getting Dodson's by ask
ing at this store if they are giving
you the medicine they personally guar
antee to refund money on if unsatis

There is more Catarrh In this section Of the
country than all other diseases put together, and
until the last few years was supposed TO be
incurable. For great many years doctors
pronounced 1t local disease and prescribed local
remedies and by constantly failing to cure with
local treatmenE pronounced it incurable Science
has proven Catarrh to be constitutional disease,
and therefore requires constitutional treatment.

in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. 1t acts

WHAT THE FARMERS NEED

The American farmer needs scien-
tific aid. Man for man the American
farmer produces as much as the farm
er Of Europe, but he requires four or
five times the area to do it. His meth
DDS are poorer, but his operations are
larger.
In European there is more hand ami
less machine work than with US. There
often the whole family is in the field
for long hours of gruelling labor.
This means a peasant farmer, and
this we certainly do not want
Our need is the best farm methods
that can be carried on by machinery,
cultivating smaller areas in a bett II
manner. 1t is better to raise 80 bush
els yield, say, Of corn, on 80 acres
than 80 bushels yield on so acres. To5
often farming large areas means two
crops on the same land, i. e., grain
and weeds. S
An hour cutting weeds in August
before seeding saves days fighting
their offspring the next year.
A bill known as the Lever agricul-
tural bill provides for a trained
farm demonstration or county agent
to carry to the farmer in the field
the best known methods and show
him how to apply them. In Other
words, how, to increase his yield
how to build up his soil, how to de-
crease the cost of production, how II
increase farm profits and how to
shorten his hours of labor by an in
crease of brain power The farm
demonstration will quicken interest
in farming among the young. He will
ishow them the splendid opportunities

THE SCHOOL PLAYGROUND

HOW large IS your scnool play
ground? Henry s. Curtis, in a bulle-
tin just issued by the United States
bureau of Education, declares that
every city school building should
have at least one full block of ground,
whether the block is the usual city
block of two or three acres, or one #
10 acres, as in Salt Lake, Utah. The
high school needs at least 10 acres, he
asserts. AS for the country school, il
ought never to have less than acres
of play space, and could proftab.y
make use of 10 acres, provided the
grass is kept moved.
Mr.. Curtis shows that our schools
have, in general, had very inadequate
yards. During the past 10 years, how
ever, with the development of the
play foyement, there has come an in
creased demand for ground space
around school buildings. The state
board Of education in Pennsylvania
and Virginia will not approve plans
for new school buildings that do not
provide for adequate Fairgrounds. In
Little Rock, Ark, the standard of one
full block to school has been car
ried out with every one OF the schools
for white children. All but one or
two of the schools in Pueblo, Colo,
have full block In San Angelo, Tex ;,
every school but one has two blocks
at Least and two have 10 acres Ct
play space. The first school built IN
Gary, Ind, had 2 acres of playground,
the second had 4, the third II, and
lot recently purchased contains 90
acres.
There is very strong sentiment
all over the country for larger school
grounds" Mr.. Curtis finds, "and yards
are being augmented in many cities
where there is an opportunity to pur-
chase adjoining pieces of land at
prices that are not prohibitive. Cities
are often paying as much as $4,000
or more per acre Off such land. Two
years ago the city of Houston, Tex ;,
secured a bond issue of 100000 for
enlarging the yards of several of its
old schools. The city of Galveston
has recently voted bond issue of
100000 for the same purpose"
Whether in city or country, Mr..
Curtis considers ample school play
ground vital necessity. City chill
dren need a good-sizea school yard
because there is no other place To-
play. Country children need a large
yard because at home there is no one
to play with, except in the simplest
games for little children" He points
out that larger school grounds are
demanded, not only for the sake of
organized play, which has come to
have recognized value in education,
but also for school gardening, open
air classes, physical training, and 9TH
er activities that have made the school
yard nearly as important as the
classroom in the conduct of modern
school"

came a member Of the house Of rep

that public issues are rather more

giants as Ben Hill, Alexander H.

The heavy planks Of Mr.. Crisp s

his successful appeal TO the voters of

Crisp has proved the one man who
promised IF chosen by the free and
intelligent members of my party" az
the candidates assertion, is usually
phrased, to aid in changing things in
the ten-mile square.
It's the half and half" system by
which the municipal expenses of the
District are paid that Mr.. Crisp would
change. This is taken from his plat
form:
Il am opposed to this injustice of
taxing the people Of Georgia and 9TH
er states to maintain the government
of Washington. and if l an elected
shall endeavor to repeal this
unjust law and let the citizens o.
Washington pay their own expenses
and manage their own municipal af-
fairs as do the citizens of all other
cities and towns in the United States.

Mr.. Crisp draws for his term Of two
years In Congress is only 10 per cent
Of the $4,000 he will save the peo-
pie of Georgia.
Whatever the people of the Distric.

beavers to change a system which has
proved advantageous to the develop
