DRUGGIST GIVES
MONEY BACK
Dodson's Liver Tone Gets a Four
Square Guarantee from Harman
Drug Store.

When an article Is sold a druggist
who is willing to give it his personal
guarantee, it's mighty strong proof
of real merit.
That's exactly the case with Dod-
son's Liver Tone. It is pleasant
tasting, vegetable remedy for slow
and sluggish liver. Since Dodsor'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-Calo-
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.
Harmon Drug Co. sells Dodson's
Liver Tone and guarantees it. For
you and for your children, it's good
thing to keep bottle always in the
house.
Harmon Drug GO. will give you
your money back if you think Dod
sons Liver Tone is not worth the
price. keep y~ur liver working and
your liver will not keep you from
working" is good advice to go by.

At NEENAH
Atty General Owen to Speak.

Elaborate plans are being made
by the city of Neenah to entertain
the members of The League of Wis
consin municipalities which holds
its fifteenth annual convention in
that city July %, "a, and 25, togeth-
er with the Wisconsin Association
Of Paid Firemen Five hundred city
officials are expected to be in atten-
tive program has been prepared.
Attorney General Ow en-, Mayor
Shank of Indianapolis, Mayor MuIva.
of Oshkosh, Mayor Bading of Milwau
kee, Mayor Feavy of Wahburn, and
Ex-Mayor William of Ahland, are ex-
pected to take part in the programs.
Attorney General Owen will speak on
Transient Traders Licenses, a prob
lem which has given the city Off
cials of the state a great deal of
trouble the last year.
Mayor Shank of indianapolis will
speak on Municipal Markets and give
his experience in buying and selling
foOd7stuffs. When potatoes and ap-
pies were selling from $3.50 to $3.50
a busheI, Mayor Shank sent to Mi
chigan and bought them by the car
load, selling them from the city mar
ket at Soc busheI. When turkeys
were so expensive at Thanksgiving
time that the poorer people of his
city could not afford the luxury, he
imported them and sold them at lit
tie above cost from the city market
The mayor will explain how this was
done and give the advantages of his
plan.
Mayor MuIva recently disposed of a
$130, 0O0 bond issue to the citizens of
Oshkosh in less than a week while
0ther cities in the state have had
difficulty in disposing of their bonds
even to outside parties. The mayor
will give an address on this plan and
explain to the city officials of the
state the reason for his success.
An attempt has been made to Sc
cure Mayor Bading of Milwaukee to
talk on the health problems of the
city in which he has taken so much
interest in recent years, but it is
possi BILE that the rush of business viii
not permit the mayor to be present.
If possible, the mayor Il attend the
Thursday meeting and nay speak eX-
temp the subject.
An attempt has also been made to
secure Mayor Peavy of Washburn to
discuss the recent recall election in
which he was successful. 1t us un-
derstoCd that Mayor Peavy has some
suggestions for the improvement of
the recall law as it exists at present
in the state.

levers to prevent the horses from
sinking into the marsh.
The wire grass is bodnd and .har-

mosquitoes and other insects and in
wet weather the work is aecompan-
led by great hardships. Wagons with
tires as wide as twelve inches are
often used. The sales of the Osh-

ceeded a million dollars.
