USE OF CALOMEL
PRACTICALLY STOPPED
Dangerous Drug Giving Way for
Safer More Reliable Remedy

Hundreds of people in this vi
cinity alone have stopped the use
Of dangerous calOmel when their
liver is acting slowly. and take
DOdson's Liver Tone instead.
Dodson S Liver Tone is always
safe and has none of the bad af-
ter effects which so often follows
the use of calomel. 1t is a pleas
ant tasting vegetable liquid that
starts the liver gently and surely
and relieves constipation and bill
iouSness and causes no reStric-
ton of habit or diet,
Many preparations have sprung
up that initiate the claims made
for DodSon's Liver Tone, but re
member Dodson's Liver Tone is
the tried and tested remedy that
has proven such a good medi-
cine and is so satisfactory to
every user-is the reason these
limitations are on the market.
Dodson's Liver Tone cannot
hurt anyone and if it fails to do
all that is claimed for it the Rex
all Drug Store who sells it, will
give your money back with a
smile.

INoTEl The present consti-
tuition permits taxation To limit
of 81 cents on 500, which will
yield about nine million dollars
per annum, an ample sum for all
purposes. Only 10 cents on the
500 was utilized last year.
There is no bankrupt necessity
to confer on the Legislature
revolutionary power to plunge
the State into unlimited bonded
debts, to pay which it will re
quire over seven dollars for each
one borrowed, when interest is
calculated five per cent aud

To begin with it is suggested by the
committee that the law be so amended
as to prohibit paid circulators, and
make violation Of it criminal Of
fense. 1t is also proposed to amend
the feature of the law relating to the
number Of signers necessary for initia-
tive and referendum petitions. No ini-
tiative petition ought to bear less than
s per cent of the registered voters of
the whole state, and no referendum pc
tition less than 5 per cent, it declared
1t is further declared that the sigma.
lures in both cases should represent so
per cent Of the counties in the state.
The committee consists of Colonel w.
