TAKE DODSON'S AND
 STAY ON YOUR FEET

Taking calomel means staying home for the day-take Dodson's Liver Tone and save a days work. If an attack of constipation or biliousness hits you, there's no need to take a dose of calomel and spend at least a day getting over the effects oft. The Newark Drug Co. sells Dodson's Liver Tone, which they guarantee takes the place of calomel and starts a lazy liver without bad after-tffects.
 Dodson's Liver Tone does all the good that calomel can do, yet it is absolutely harmless to young people and old. It is a pleasant tasting vegetable liquid that will relieve constipation or sour stom- ach or other troubles that go along with a lazy liver, without restric- ton of habit or diet. You don't leave off any of the things you regularly do when you take Liver Tone.
 A large bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone sells for 50 cents. Get the genuine and if you are not pleas ed with it the druggist from whom you bought 1t will give your mon- ey back with a smile. (adv.)

You have no enemies? Then you never dared to stand up for the right against wrong; you have never protected the weak against the bully; you have never dared to defend your own rights against oppression. Had you done any of these things you would have made enemies. Even if you had done none of these things, but simply achieved a little more sue cess in your business than did your neighbor, you would have an enemy for failure always hates success.-CarterviIle Record.

In a number of counties of the state there will be no opposi- ton to the Democratic county ticket, but all Democrats every where should go to the polls on election day and vote for the party nominees. Arkansas is one of the first states to hold an election this fall, and news of an overwhelm- ing Democratic victory here will give stimulus to Democrats in oth- CT states.

Fat hogs, sleek horses, produc- ing COWS, salable beef cattle and sheep are better indications oi prosperity on the farm than cot ton. European war will hardly de- stroy our market for meat and bread products, though 1t seems to have injured our cotton market In fact, it does not require war in any part of the world to sell live stock products, for whether al war or at peace people must eat There are substitutes for cotton but none for foods.

The Democratic nominees for representative, county judge and sheriff, will have opposition in the general election. If these nominees were incompetent or unworthy there would be some excuse for voting for the other fellow. But this is not so, and the Democratic nominees are, to say the least, full ly as competent, as worthy and as we'll qualified to serve the people in the offices for which they have been nominated as are any of their opponents. Under these conditions, no good Democrat will scratch his ticket, therefore The Journal feels safe in saying that the entire Democratic ticket in Independence county will be elected this year by the largest majority 1t has receiv- ed in a number of years.

The state election will be held on Monday, September IA, which is only a few days off. The Demo, cratic ticket from governor down, is a good one. There is not an un- worthy or an incompetent man on the ticket and every Democrat should go to the polls and support the nominees of his party.

It is next to impossible to esti- mate the value of a good news paper to any town. It ranks with the church, the bank, the manu- facturer and the leading merchant. The paper is the true friend of the town and county - fighting their battles and standing for their best interests. It is the great bull wark of defense and is ever alert No other enterprise can take its place. The paper is indispensable. Exchange.

It is rather hard to believe that the cost of meat shipped into Ark ansas every year equals about one third the value of the entire cot ton crop of the state. It is fact, nevertheless; and in addition to this, statistics show that twelve million dollars worth of dairy pro- ducts are shipped into Arkansas annually from other states. Ark ansas is an agricultural state and yet her people spend more than half the value of her chief crop for two articles that we should and could raise at home if we would only do so.

 He was pulling the Rock Island train out of Hot Springs Sunday morning, and when about eight miles from the city, just after rounding a curve on a down-grade, there was a mule on the track. To add to the situation the mule was blind. The whistles were blown, but the mule didn't turn, and after 1t was apparent that the mule was there for a colli- sion Engineer Ryan applied all the emergencies possible. and then only stopped the train after the engine had passed over the mule and had itself been turned cross wise of the tracks.
 The fireman jumped, as most en- gnemen do when they firmly believe
 there is nothing else they can do, and when they realize that if they stick and the engine turns over, they will be either crushed to death or burned to death with the steam. En. gueer Ryan was certain that all had
 been done that could be. and even when the engine was Jumping the bumps over the ties, and wobbling around reay to toppe over, he stayed at the throttle and held his hand on the emergency.
