Dodson's Liver Tone Get q -Four
Square Guarantee From the Semi.
mole Pharmacy.
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 Dod-
sons Liver Tone. 1t Is a pleasant
tasting, vegetable remedy for slow
and sluggish liver Since Dods0n's
Liver Tone came on the market the
sale Of calomel has gone way down.
The reason is simply this: Dodson's
Liver Tone is safe and harmless and
guaranteed to be satisfactory Gallo
mel is often uncertain, sometimes
dangerous, and no druggist wants to
guarantee that it won't knock you
out of a days work and maybe send
you TO bed
The Seminole Pharmacy, sells Dod-
sons Liver Tone and guarantees It..
For you and for your children, it's a
good thing to keep a bottle always liz
the house.
The Seminole Pharmacy will give
you your money back IL 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 to go by.

farther up or down the river to a point
where another cable Is stretched from

FOUR WARSH|PS ARE
NEEDED, SAYS DEWEY
Admiral Says United States
Must Build This Number to
Keep Naval Rank.

Not three battleships, which Is the
program outlined in the recommends
tions OF Secretary of the Navy Meyer
for the present Congress. but four. are
necessary IL the United States IL to
maintain its naval ranking among the
powers after 1914. says Admiral George
Dewey, chairman of the general board.
Four battleships will be twenty years
old in 1914, and IL Congress does not
provide a similar number this year our
feet will suffer a decrease In its
strength" says the admiral. "H an
adequate number OF battleships Is not
provided, our navy will not have the
modern war vessels to replace the obso-
lete ones when they are Withdrawn from
the second line. They will not con-
stitute a numerical increase In the
strength of the fleet, but are necessary
to maintain its strength in future years.
II believe that the Democratic ad-
ministration will adopt a liberal policy
towards the navy. The Democratic
party has always been generous in It's
treatment Of the navy, and l think It
will continue to be SO. The increase
Of the navy Is not a political question,
and should not be made one.
Il do not believe the building program
of the navy should be reduced before
or after the opening of the canal. The
United States. In my opinion, will need
a strong feet after the canal Is opened
to traffic as II does now. to maintain
our position among the naval powers"

NEW YORK. Jan. 25.-Women who
dread the approach Of old age may take
heart and che r today from the words
of DR.. Rosall. Slaughter Morton, who
gave gathe ing of advanced women al
the School of Mother Craft last night
some new thoughts about grandmother
hood and mellow maturity.
Woman OF today is happiest when
she is sixty" said the speaker. THE
time has passed when We think a wom-
ans life has ended at thirty-five, and
there is nothing more for her but to sit
at the fire and dream. The older we
grow the stronger we are mentally and
physically, and the woman of today is
happy because she has strength and
wisdom to use for public service. She
is happier far than she was In the hey
lyday of her youth
DR.. Morton explained further that the
elderly woman Of today no longer has
to sit about the chimney corner being
bossed BY her daughters-in-law. She
has suffrage to interest her and to
work for, clubs. and trips to Europe,
and cunning grandchildren to play with
In fact, she is just beginning TO enjoy
life when she reaches fifty, and at sixty
