Women Find This Is
Better Than CaIomeI
Many Mothers and Wives Have Learned
That Dodson's Liver Tone is Fine
Remedy for Constipation

B. L. Browder will tell you that it
takes the women to realize the merits
of a new remedy for constipation and
biliousness quickly and surely, wheth-
er it is for themselves or someone
else in their families.
There are today great number of
households in which Dodson's Liver
Tone has come to take the place Of
dangerous calomel as well as all other
remedies for such ailments and where
an atmosphere of health and happi-
ness now prevails.
Dodson's Liver Tonic is uncondi-
tionally guaranteed by B. L. Browder
to be safe liver remedy and regu-
lator, absolutely harmless and wi h
no bad after-effects, such as are liable
with calomel.
Dodson's is pleasant-tasfing veg
etable liquid and clears the aching
head and suffering body with no pain
nor grippe.
SO perfect a remedy has Dodson's
Liver Tone proved to be that your
druggist will refund the p1rch Use
price (50c.) instantly without ques-
ton if you are not thoroughly salts
fed. They are authorized to do so
by Dodson, who doesn't want your
money unless his remedy can benefit
you. Under such conditions a trial
would seem the part of wisdom. adv

According to previous notice the
regular quarterly convention of the
singing clubs of the county met at
the Methodist church Saturday and
Sunday. The attendance from the
numerous clubs of the county was
unusually large. ]. R. Swain is the
president end presided with his usual
urbanity. Pleasant Grove was select

church could not contain near all
who attended Sunday. 1t was a
pleasant day, which brought out
everyone. Many town people did not
go in order that visitors could be &C
commodated. The singing was of a
high order, and many leaders showed
much talent. We would not attempt
to make personal references to indi-
viduals. 1t was a grand occasion.

to recover the kickoff on the varsity

The problem Of finding q field gen.

and two by BOland on sweeps around
