DANGEROUS CALOMEL
GOING OUT OF USE
A Safer, More Reliable Remedy
Has Taken It's Place in the
Drug Store and in the
Home.

A few years ago, men, women
and children took calomel for a
sluggish liver and for constipa-
ton. They took risks when
they did so, for calomel is dan
gerous drug. Your family doc
tor will be the first to tell you
this if he discovers you dosing
yourself with calomel.
But the drug trade has found
a safer, more pleasant remedy
than calomel in Dodson's Liver
Tone.
Walkers Pharmac tells us
that their drug store sells Dod-
sons Liver Tone in practically
every case of biliousness and
liver trouble where calomel used
to be taken.
Dodson's Liver Tone is a veg
etable liver tonic that is absO-
lutely harmless for children
and grown people. 1t sells for
SO cents bottle and is guaran-
teed to be entirely satisfactory
by Walkers Pharmacy who will
refund your money with a smile
if it does not give quick, gentle
relief without any of calomels

Negro RevivaIist At Jail.

DR.. J. G. Robinson, colored,
pastor of the negro church on
the corner Of 9Th and Main sts.,
held a service in the yard of
the county jail Sunday at 5 p.
m. A large crowd of colored
people were with him, and did
some good singing.
In speaking to those in jail,
Rev. Robinson said: '"The 23d
Psalm, the Lords Prayer and
the Sermon on the Mount, as
found in the Fifth chapter of
Matthew, are the three greatest
pieces of literature ever writ
ten. The Lord is my Shepherd
can be true, in a sense, by every
man. Count up the efforts you
have put forth for God, and
then think of what God has done
for him, and he will be found to
say, surely God is good and the
Lord is my Shepherd This 23d
Psalm has gone on through the
world, ringing and singing a.
way sorrows and troubles, and
giving men comfort. The old
crown that David wore, the old
palace in which he lived, and
much of the literature of his
day are all buried beneath ages,
but this psalm is as fresh today
as it was when it was written
thirty hundred years ago.
1t has cheered pilgrims on
their long and dusty march, is
has given quick step to soldiers,
and given them courage as they
went to battle end to die. 1t has
given prisoners light hearts as
they languished in their cells,
it has been the comfort of the
dying saint, as he pillOwed his
head upon the bosom Of God.
Take it, read it; it will help
you.
Then the Lords Prayer has
been taught to every boy
when he was innocent, yes, be-
fore he ever took Gods name in
vain, before he ever smoked a
cigarette, before he ever drank
glass of beer, mother taught
him that little prayer. And to-
day mother-sweet mother if
she is living. She is expecting
and looking for her boy to en-
brace the God whom she trust
ed and if she is dead, her spirit
hovers over you today. Brother,
once more, turn to God and say
that little prayer.
