STAY ON YOUR FEET
Taking Calomel Means Staying
Home for the Day-Take
Dodson S Liver Tone and
Save a Days Work.

If an attack of constipation or bill
inusness hits you, there's no need to
take a dose of calomel and spend at
least day getting over the effects
of it. All Atlanta druggists sell the
liver tonic, DodsOn's Liver Tone,
that takes the place of calomel and
starts a lazy liver without any bad
after effects.
Dodson's Liver Tone does all the
good that calOmel ever did, yet it is
absolutely harmless to young people
and old. 1t is a pleasant tasting
vegetable liquid that will relieve
constipation or sour stomach or
other troubles that go along with a
lazy liver. without restriction of
habit or diet. You don't leave off
any of the things you regularly do
when you take DodsOn's Liver Tone.
All Atlanta druggists sell Dod-
sons Liver Tone and give it a strong
personal guarantee. They say "A
large bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone
sells for SO cents, and we will hand
any person back his 80 cents if he
tries a bottle and doesn't say that
it does all that calomel ever does
and does it pleasantly. Get the gem
uine Dodson's Liver Tone and if you
are not pleased with 1t we will give
your money back with a smile"

W 0 M A MS HAIR
REACHES TO KNEES
A Year Ago Was Threatened With
Badness. Tells How She
Made Her Hair Grow.

Mrs. Esther Emery, now visiting
friends in the city, is the fortunate
posseSsor of marvelously beautiful hair,
which, when loosed from its coils, falls
to her knees. Moreover it is of soft
silky and fluffy texture and in color a
glorious glossy gold Yet just one year
ago she was threatened with badness.
Urged to tell how she had obtained this
wonderful growth in so short a time,
she said: Had any one told me such
marvellous results could be accom-
plished so quickly, l positively would
not have believed it. Twelve months
ago my hair, which then reached
barely to my shoulders, was falling out
at an alarming rate and growing very
thin, actually exposing the bald scalp
in several spots. 1t was dull and life
and very dry and brittle. My head
was covered with dandruff and itched
like mad all the time. / tried fully a
dozen different hair toniCs but they
were all the same and never did me a
bit of good. One day l CHANGED to
read in my home paper of a simple
home prescription to make the hair
grow that was recommended by a
Well known physician. 1t said that by
taking ordinary Lavona de COmposee
end mixing with Bay Rum and Men
thol Crystals and applying to the scalp
each night with the finger tips that
new hair would grow very rapidly.
decided to try ii and ! had my drug
posee with 6 OF. of Bay Rum and y
dr. of Menthol Crystals, and started to
use it. My. how quickly my hair did
grow First the hair stopped falling
the itching ceased and the dandruff
disappeared. Then tiny little hairs APP
peared all over my scalp. These grew
and grew as though nothing would
ever stop them. They are growing yet
and while. of course, l have used the
treatment steadily and expect to con-
tinue it, at least until my hair reaches
the floor. ! might have stopped and
been perfectly satisfied at the end of
three months ! think that any wom-
an can get long. thick, beautiful hair
by using this prescription as I have
recommended it to several friends and
all are delighted with the result The
prescription is very inexpensive and
any druggist can fill it.
Those who use it should be careful
not to get it on the face or where hair
is not desired.

A town, to be good" town, must have good stores-stores that handle large assortments and offer the same: values and styles at the same prices asked elsewhere.
 Good local shopping facilities, however, depend entirely upon the extent of patronage accorded merchants by community con- sumers.
 Those who live in the smaller towns often say they are forced to shop elsewhere, because their local stores do not carry the specific articles they want. If these people would make their wants known to their home mer- chants, in nearly every case, these merchants would supply them.
 Bear in mind that a portion of every dollar spent in your local stores applies to the building and maintenance of your schools, churches, good roads, streets and sidewalks-in fact, every i'm provement that goes to make your community attractive from every commercial and social standpoint.

TUESDAY THE 26th.
 CLEAN : UP DAY

Tuesday August 26th, 1913 is hereby declared to be cleanup day in the city of Prescott and all citizens desirouS of seeing the city placed in a sanitary condi. tion and who are not afraid to work will meet in the City Park at $50 a. n. on that day. The work will be under the supervi. sion of the Street Com mittee and the entire day will be spent i n making Prescott clean. A good plan has been suggested by one business man and that is this, that each business man on that day furnish the same number of men to work on the street that he has in his employ; this busi- ness men has agreed to furnish 40 men to work on that day. Let everybody remember the date and be on hand The ladies of the city are especially invited to co operate with the men Tn mak- ing next Tuesday a day in his tory for Prescott. The citizens of Philadelphia will one day this week build 12 miles of good road; the citizens of Prescott can cer tainly clean up the town in one day. The city will furnish teams to haul off trash and weeds. It might be good plan to have din her at the park on that day. I invite suggestions along this line from any citizen.

 Mayor.

If you have children to edu- cate; if you are interested in re- ligious matters; if you own a home or other property in your com unity, you should patronize your local merchants whenever practicable. It is to your inter- est to do this.
 Of course there are merchants in every town who will not carry standard lines and who expec their customers to buy their un- known goods at standard prices; however, there are progressive merchants in every locality who handle brands that are sold everywhere at uniform prices, whose quality is known to all who read and keep up with the times.
 Trademarked Advertised mer, chandise always offers maximum values and can be secured in smallest towns to as good advan- tage as elsewhere.
 No manufacturer will put his name and trademark on an arti- cle and then spend large sums of money advertising it unless his goods come up to his claims in every respect.

 What about the enforcement of our Sunday laws?
 From reports that come to our ears we are led to believe that Prescott is wide-open town. It is high time that the good people united len masse" with deter imitation to see that the Sunday laws are enforced.
 We do not want to appear as a body of lousy people" but we are the mothers of these boys who congregate in these open pl,ces on Sunday, and we feel that anything the municipality can do to make the streets safer for them will be a safeguard to their morals and will also give them higher conception of the law.
 Let us not be lax in these things, for the subtle law of sug' gestion has wonderful power over young minds.
 We, therefore, appeal again to the officers and good men Of the town to look after this.
