Lakeland Telegram:-The Bry-
an primary law passed by the last
Legislature, was declared to be all
that was good and a remedy for
every evil in our primary system;
but the editor of The PUNTA Cor
DA HERALD has given it careful
study and pronounces it failure,
"much more complicated than the
old one and the result will be gen.
eral confusion and consequent dis
gust and Indignation" But we
never can tell about nm untried
law and until we give this one q
trial it might be better to suspend
Judgment. Law is better machin-
cry and the only way to test is to
apply the power and see how the
wheels 60 round.

For many years there has been

instances endangering valuable
property. OF late years this very
important question has been more
seriously discussed, from a moral
as well as legal standpoint, and
any reliable information bearing
upon the subject is always appre-
ciated by the increasing numbers
of our citizens who are becoming
virtually interested. The Act of
March 4, 1909 (35 Stat. 1888, 1O99)
sections 50 and 50 may prove in
teresting to all readers.
"Sec. so. Whoever shall will
fully set on fire, or cause to he set
on fire, any timber, underbrush or
grass upon the public domain, or
shall leave or suffer fire to burn
unattended near any timber or
other infammabe material, shall
be fined not more than five thou

more than two years or both.
"Sec. So. Whoever shall build

ana tICuH-NO Ddu
If you have allowed your fear of
calomel to keep you from toning up
your liver when it gets a little sug-
gish and lazy-try Dodson's Liver
Tone, and note how quickly and
harmlessly it starts the liver and re-
lieves constipation and bilious at
tacks.
When you take Dodsons Liver
Tone, you do not have to stay in the
house all day. None of the weaken
ing and harmful after-effects of Gallo
mel follow its use. Dodson's Liver
Tone is mild, pleasant vegetable
liquid that cannot hurt either chill
dren or grown people. Yet it easily
overcomes the most stubborn and in
active liver without making you quit
eating or working.
These are not just claims, the Sem
mole Pharmacy backs up every one
of these statements and agrees to re-
fund the price of Dodson's Liver Tone
with a smile to any person who pays
his soc for a bottle and isn't satisfied
that he got his moneys worth.
limitations of Dodson's Liver Tone
are another proof that it is a good
thing. Nobody ever initiates a poor
remedy. Be sure you get the genuine
Dodson's Liver Tone-the kind that
is guaranteed. ADVERTISEMENT
