Druggist Gives
Money Back
D0dS0n's Liver Tone Gets a
Four Square Guarantee From
the Pickens Drug Co.

When an article is sold a
druggist who is willing to give
it his personal guarantee, it's a
mighty strong proof of real
merit.
That's exactly the case with
Dodson's Liver Tone. 1t is a
pleasant-tasting vegetable rem
edy for a slow and sluggish liver.
Since Dodson's Liver Tone came
on the market the sale Of Gallo
mel has gone way down. The
reason is simply this: Dodson's
Liver Tone is safe and harmless
and guaranteed to be satisfac-
tory-Calomel is often uncer-
tain, sometimes dangerous, and
no druggists wants to guaran-
tee that it won't knock you out
of a days work and maybe
send you to bed.
The Pickens Drug Company
sells Dodson's Liver Tone and
guarantees it. For YOU and
your children, it's a good thing
to keep a bottle always in the
house. The Pickens Drug Co.
will give you your money back
if you think Dodson's Liver
Tone is not worth the price.
Keep your liver working and
your liver will not keep you
from working" is good advice

Luxury means in many cases some

tendency has been to build smaller

smaller houses as any other consider

require great deal of studying and
planning to bring out all its splendid
possibilities. Such rooms nowadays
are seldom or never carpeted. The
floor Is hard wood with finish that
shows the grain to advantage. The
floor is nice enough to leave without
any covering whatever; but no one
likes bare floor because OF the noise
and from the further fact that no room
has properly furnished appearance
unless the floor has been carefully pro.
vided with rugs that harmonize with
the wall and ceiling decorations.
There Is good deal In proportioning
rugs to the size OF the room. This
large living room should have two rugs

tunnels. Then came the work Of re-

placed between the two openings of
the tunnel after carefully rubbing tho
trap and openings with a dead mole.
This was done for two reasons
first. because the mole would instant.

avoid the trap; and. secondly. because
moles are great fighters. When the
