People in Cloverport should not
loathe to grow older. For one does
not have to stay on the sunny side of
forty to enjoy life in this dear old
town. The older people have good
time. The old people have a grand
time. No one suffers from isolation.
Mother is never given back seat
when the daughters entertain, and
the father never gets too old or too
busy to enjoy a social hour quite
often with his children. The old and
the young come together at home,
at the church, at the club and at the
lodge, for interchange of ideas, study
of music and helpful instruction that
makes life worth while. Growing
old in Cloverport does not mean that
one is growing useless and lonesome.
Every coming day furnishes oppor-
tunity for fullness and efficiency in
life. What is true here is true of
every other place in the world. -

FALLING OFF
Fewer People Risking Dangerous

The use of calomel, which is pois-

be decidedly diminishing nowadays.
Dodson's Liver Tone takes its place
so reliably in cases of constipation
and liver trouble that its popularity
is spreading more widely all the time.
Dodson's Liver Tone is harmless
vegetable-liquid. What calomel does
unpleasantly-often with danger-for
constipation and sluggish liver, Dod-
sons Liver Tone does for you safely
and pleasantly, with no pain and no
gripe. 1t does not interfere IN any
way with your regular business, hab-
its or diet.
So successful, so reliable and 50
popular a remedy has its imitators,
naturally. But beware of them. You
can eaisly detect the difference.
Dodson never makes eXtraVagant
statements. His Liver Tone has been
made from the first to take the place
of calomel. He says that 1t "livens
the liver overcomes constipation
