COATED TONGUE
MEANS LAZY LIVER
A Lazy Liver Needs Dose Of Dodson's
Liver Tone Guaranteed to Take
Place OF CaIomel

When your doctor looks to see if
your tongue is coated, he is trying to
find out if your liver is working prop
erly. A few years ago doctors had
to prescribe calomel-there was moth
ing else to give.
Recently in many sections of the
country Dodson's Liver Tone has
practically taken the place of calomel
as a liver remedy. Dodson's Liver
Tone is mild, pleasant tasting and
harmless which makes it fine medi-
cine for use when your children be-
come bilious and constipated. But
the most remarkable feature of Dod-
sons Liver Tone is that B. l.. Browder
who sells it, guarantees it absolutely.
The druggist will return your money
without argument if a bottle fails to
give entire satisfaction.
Price SOC. We suggest that you
get bottle today and have it ready
for the next member of your family
whose liver goes wrong. adv

At meeting of the Middle Ten

luton was proposed by Mr.. N. F.

imously adopted by the Institute:
Resolved, That it is the sense of
the Middle Tennessee Farmers Insti-
tute, in convention assembled, that
State convicts who are serving three
years or less. be required to work on
our public roads, and that we memo
rialize the next Legislature to enact
a law to that effect"

luton it was apparent that the senti-
ment was unanimous, or practically
50, in all the counties in Middle Ten
nessee for the enactment of laws
looking to this end, and | am sending
you copy of this resolution with a
request that you give it space in
your paper. Yours truly,

A Well for Coal Oil and Gas to
be Put Down Near Selmer

Mr.. John l.. Cohen, of Decatur,
H., arrived Friday and will spend the
winter here. He is planning to put
down test we'll for oil, or anything
else to be found in the thousands
acres of McNairy soil. He secured
oil leases on nearly 5000 acres
few months ago in and around Selmer
As soon as he secures a sutficien
number Of acres to launch his worl
Of at once putting down a well, worl
will begin. He says he will be al
work within ninety days. He has ex-
perience and has an arrangement
made for all drilling, machinery and
crews.
This is no wildcat scheme. Mr..
Cohen is man of large means, and
withal a most courteous and high
toned Christian gentleman, Of high
standing in his home CITY, having
held the offices of tax collector and
auditor for number of terms.
We do not suppose anyone will hes
Iitate about giving leases on every
foot of land they own. We have all
90 make and nothing to lose. J. r.
Erwin has the blanks and will take
the leases. Call and see him and
push the matter at once. He wants
all the land adjacent to Selmer and
surrounding country.
We are satisfied that oil can be had
| if sufficient depth is gone. Mr..
Cohen says he will not stop under
1000 feet for the first well, and if a
failure is had he will try on some
other lease. Just where the first well
is to be put down is to be determined
hereafter, though it will be near Sci
mer.
This is a matter that interests all,
and we trust that every one will push
the getting of leases at once. Call
on j. R. Erwin or ]. w. Purviance at
once and sign up.

Alternately Nov. 13. Ten members

ercises by Mrs. Smith short time
was given to business.
The topic for the afternoon was
Scientific Temperance. Mrs. Sallie
Smith gave the origin of alcohol.
Mrs. Anderson asked some pertinent
questions as to alcohoPs food value,
among them being: IF alcohol is a
f;od why do Arctic explorers refuse
to use it.? If a valuable food, why
are men under athletic training pro-
hibited from using itY
Mrs. Rachel Adams spoke of the
candles and pastries with wine fla
vors, the moving pictures showing
the antics of a half-drunken man and
the levity of parents regarding the
; subject of intemperance, as some
things which hinder in our work with
children.
Speaking of the danger in alcohol
Mrs. Bell said; Il want to see the
elimination Of every conceivable CON
dition which makes for danger to our
boys and girls. When smallpox breaks
out, the state Immediately directs its
forces to the seat of trouble. Why
shonld not the state do the same
against an evil which does more harm
