SAFER THAN CAL0MEL
DOdson's Liver Tone at Night Will Straieh- ten You Out by Morning. CalOmel May Knock You Out of
 Days Work.

It you are calomel user, next time you are tempted to buy it ask your druggist if he can absol- utely guarantee the drug not to harm you. He won't do it be- cause he CAN'T do it.
 But here is perfect substi- tute for calomel which the drug gist does guarantee-the famous DodSon's s Liver Tone. Hesterly Drug Store will refund your money without a question if you are not thoroughly satisfied.
 Go to Hesterly's Drug Store whom you are acquainted with and find out about the great num- Der of people who are taking this remarkable remedy and feeling better, keener, healthier, and bet ter able to enjoy life than than they ever were when taking calo- mel
 Why? Because calomel is a poison-one that may stay in the system, and while seeming to benefit yon temporarily, may do harm in the end If you haven t felt these ill-etfects so far, it is because you are fortunate enough to have strong constitution.
 Don't take the risk any longer. Get bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone (50c.) and note how easily and naturally it corrects all bili- ous conditions, how it clears away that sick headache and coat ed tongue, how it sets you right without ache or gripe.

WINNIPEG PAINTERS.

Winnipeg. Manitoba-It took just four
week for the painters and master paint
ers to come to an agreement on the
question of a demand for an increase in
wages made by the union. Owing to
the fact that the union painters COM
prise only about a5 per cent of the men
working at the trade. the master paint
ers were confident that they would be
able to use the nonunion men against
the union members. At the commence
ment of the strike the painters union
numbered only $50. but at the time the
agreement was signed the membership
of the union had reached $50. While the
demand of the union was for scent
per hour increase, compromise was
reached whereby a5s cent per hour in
crease was agreed to. A complete rec
ognition of the organization was also
secured The agreement provides for
settling future differences in an AMIGA
BILE manner.

WATCH THE WHEELS CLOSELY
Canadian Experts Declare Defective
FIanoes to Be Frequent Cause Of
Railroad Accidents.

The railroad commission has issued
a circular to motive power foremen
on the Canadian railroads urging the
importance of a renewal OF locomotive
wheels before the fianges are badly
worn. Inspectors in the service of
the commission report that many loco
motives on passenger trains have
sharp f1anges. in some cases the
fanges being worn down below the
master car builders standard allow
ance gauge. Some of these locomo-
dves are running on fast passenger
trains. thus inviting much unneces-
sary risk to the safety of hundreds of
passengers
The wearing down of fanges on To-
comotives is only one minor contribu-
tor to the long chapter of railway
accidents. Derailments arise either
from defective equipment, bad track.
or faulty switching. AS a rule. when
a locomotive jumps the track, the ac.
cident is ascribed to some peculiar de-
feet in the track, rather than to in
sufficient Hanging on the locomotive.
1t is undeniable that many supposed
rail defects are in reality the outcome
of defective driving wheel tires. The
Railway Age Gazette tells of 100 rails
on an Illinois railroad being broken
on one trip by a fattened driving
wheel. The recently issued annual
report of the interstate commerce
commission shows that out of
S.215 derailments on American rail-
roads during the year. 3,S47 were due
to defective equipment, an increase
of 1.023. Bad ties, loose spikes. poor
ballasting, insufhciently fianged
wheels. rail breakages due to flattened
wheels. all played a prominent part in
causing these derailments- Fortunate
ly derailments of locomotives caused
by defects in their own mechanism Oh
driving surfaces are comparatively
rare. The warning of the railway com
mission is not uncalled for. however
for a worn locomotive fiange might
suddenly precipitate a great disaster

What the Railroad. Do.

It seems very simple to see the pas
senger trains run in and out OF the
station: to order the freight car and
send the grain to market: to telegraph
to the nearest large town for supplies,
and in "a to As hours have them de-
livered But It is not 30 easy and SIM
pie a. 1t seems. and there is danger
today that the next great uplift in
business in the United States will md
the railroads. as a whole. sorely taxed
to furnish the transportation needed
for the commerce OF the country.
Why? Because a misdirectad public
opinion is demanding rates too low,
tAxes too high. wages too high, service
too elaborate. and there was not cents
enough to the dollar to meet all these
obligations and still permit the busi-
ness to be attractive enough 30 the
man with the dollar will invest It.
Our American railroads have done
good work. and can do better. and It
is to tho farmers selfish interest to
sec that they are SO treated that they
will be ready at all times to handle
business. To be ready requires CON
stant expenditure.-Leslie's.
