Druggist Gives
Money Back.
Dodson's Liver Tone Gets a
Four Square Guarantee
From Denmark Drug
Store.

When an article is sold drug
gist who is willing to give it his
personal guarantee, it's mighty
strong proof of real merit.
That's exactly the case with
Dodson's Liver Tone. 1t is a pleas
aLt-tasting vegetable remedy for a
slow and sluggish liver. Since
Dodson's Liver Tone came on the
market the sale of calomel has
gone way down. The reason is
simply this: Dcdson's Liver Tone
is safe and harmless and guarantee
ed to be observation-disclosures is
often uncertain, sometimes danger
Gus, and no druggist wants to
guarantee that it won't knock you
.
out of days work and maybe
send you to bed.
Denmark Drug Co. sells bod
sons Liver Tone and guarantees it.
For you and for your children, it's
a good thing to keep a bottle al
ways in the house.
Denmark Drug Go. will give
you your money back if you think
Dodson's Liver Tone is not worth
the price. "Keep your liver work
ing and your liver will not keep
you from working" is good adj
vice to 60 by. Adv.

must be willing. to pay for their
maintenance, and also remember that
the maintenance is of as great if not
greater Importance than the original

has for years been giving instruction
in road building, and we are ready
and willing at any time to give advice
and submit plans for the construction
of roads, culverts and bridges to any

'The Peoples business should

From Colorado.

One interesting developement
of the fight for the "open door"
was the attitude of the Colorado
delegation. We voted as a unit

only delegation which achieved
that proud distinction. All the
others were badly divided on the

In one of my former letters l
declared that for the first time
since Lincoln,s s death we had a
real Democrat in the White
House. Every day President
Wilson is justifying that state
ment. If the spirits of the
mighty departed may observe
the work of those who are nov
in control Of the affairs of the re-
public, Lincoln, Jefferson and
jackson must be exchanging
heartfelt congratulations.
l like to drop into the lobby of
the New Willard these evenings
and listen to the lamentations of
the paid servants of Special Pri-
vilege who are swelling the bank
accounts of the managers of that
luxurious hostelry. These lob
byists are confident that the
country is headed for the denim
ion bow-wows and that the re-
sponsibility for the impending
calamity rests on the shoulders of
the President. They were al
rS6,t shocked out of their boots
when they learned that he would
appear before Congress in his
own proper person and read his
message instead of permitting a
clerk to perform that task for
him. With trembling voices they
pointed out that he was violating
the sacred precedents og a CEN
tury and they were confident the
foundations of the republic could
not withstand the strain. Their
cup of woe was filled to over
flowing, however, when he came
to the Presidents room in the
Capitol on the following day and
with engaging frankness told the
Democratic Senators that the
people expected them to redeem
their pledges of the Baltimore
platform.
Verify, times have changed!
