serious blow in the middle part of his

bridges over the Danube had been

Sharpening a Pencil.

An expert manual training man talk
ed with the writer about so simple a
thing as sharpening lead pencil. In
the first place, he says, the knife should
not be oyersharp. but should be
little dull. as If too sharp 1t will cut
quickly through the wood and cut
away the lead Then. again, he says.
it is best to hold the pencil in the left
hand with the end to be sharpened
pointing away from you and to cut
away with n pushing cut rather than
toward you with u drawing cut. as
then the point of the pencil is rested
against the side Of the thumb and is
sharpened by draw cut stroke of the

HEALTHY LIVER MAKES BEAUTY.
Famous Actress Finds That a Healthy
Liver Is Necessary to Coed
Looks and Y0GihfulneSS.

One of the best known women Of
the American stage is writing a
series Of articles on the preservation
Of heauty. She attaches great i'm
portance to keeping the liver active
at all times, and she is right. Neitli-
er good looks nor happiness will stay
long with any man or woman who
lets the liver get lazy and sluggish
II is not always safe to take calo-
mel, the old liver remedy. Doctors
agree that it is a very uncertain
drug. But E. T. Whitehead Com
pany's drug store has a remedy for
sale that they guarantee to take the
place of calomel absolutely, and still
be harmless, causing 20 restriction
Of habit or diet. This remedy is
Dodson's Liver Tone.
Dodson's Liver Tone is pleasant
tasting vegetable liquid, but it starts
the liver gently and surely and re-
lieves constipation and biliousness SO
promptly that it has become a de-
pendable remedy in thousands Of
homes in the United States. There
are scores of families in this vicinity
who will not be without it in the
house and who would not think of
starting on a trip without a bottle
Of it.
E. T. Whitehead Company have
sold so much Dodson's Liver Tone
that they are convinced Of its merit
and will give any person his so cents
back, who buys a bottle and does
not find that it takes the place of
calcmel to perfection.

when her son called him back.
"'Mother is worse said the man.
Come back at once
'"The doctor returned. On his entry
into the sickroom the old woman look
