.GALOAEL is 4 FORM
OF DEADLY MERCURY
Iustead OF Such Dangerous Stuff, It
Is Recommended That You Take
DodsOn's Liver Tone for
Constipation.

Dodson's Liver Tone was made
to take the place of calomel.
Calomel is form of mercury a
mineral and a poison. Dodson's
Liver Tone is an all-vegetable
liquid-never harmful.
What caIomel does uupleasantly
and often with danger for constip-
attn and sluggish liver, Dodson's
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,
habits or diet. You feel good after
taking it.
The great success and wide sale
of Dodson's Liver Tone are the
result of what it does for people.
It's merit is backed up by gnar-
antee of ''satisfaetion or your
money back" as Pope Drug Co.
will tell you.
Dodson's Liver Tone was in
tended from the start TO take the
place of caIomel The label on
the bottle always has said so, be-
ginning with the first bottle sold.
Dodson Liver Tone t'livens the
liver" overcomes constipation
agreeably and makes you feel good,
and if you are not satisfied COM
pletely with It Pope Drug Co.
will hand back the purchase price

When you go to buy a family
remedy, don't fail to judge be
tween the plain, simple truth about
Dodson's and the loud claims o.
Its imitators. That the public
does so accounts for the enormou:

ing made for the campaign, the
Clarion Ledger said:
"Thvse gentlemen have visited
all,of the wholesale grocerymen IN
Jackson and got statistics to show
how many carloads of meat, lard'
canned goods and other provisions
corn, oats, cornmeal and mixed
feeds aud other feedstufts, and
horses and mules and other farm
products shipped into Jackson TO
show that many millions OF dollars
are sent out of this territory that
should be kept al home to assist
in developing this section of the
country"
The enormous amount of money
which goes out of Jackson annual
ly to supply the things mentioned
above will be a revelation to the
farmers of Kinds. Even in 6
small county like Claiborne, hun
dreds of thousands of dollars were
paid each year to northern and
western farmers for these things
prior to the coming of the cottor
weevil, and much is still being
paid for them.
The ReveiIle has contended, anG

country, it was needed. No coun

Little Interest Manifested.

Small interest was manifested in
the special village election Tuesday
save by those who favored the city
idea. AS repeatedly stated in che
Union the election will have no legal
effect one way or the other, hence
many of those who are against in
cooperating as a city failed to vote
because they regarded the election as
mere childs' play; on the other
hand every effort was put forth by
those who favored a city form of
government. and the result was las
for to 50 against.
A probable result of the make
believe election will be the incurring
of an indebtedness of $500 in draft
ing and submitting a charter-S5OO
is the maximum permitted by law
for that purpose.
The total vote of the village is
about 425. 1t is safe to assume that
on the important matter of adopting
a charter almost every voter will ex-
ercise the right Of suffrage, and it
will require four-sevenths vote-at
least 240 votes-to adopt charter.
The probabilities are that no
charter can be drafted that will
meet with the approval of 240 voters
of the village.

Joe Kauser were brought down from

Mrs. Burrell enjoying better health,
but Mr.. Burrell will remain with her

"We started from St. Paul on

money he had in his clothing last
Saturday evening. He was on his
way to his home, and was making a
short cut through an alley adjoining

match. While standing searching for
match he was struck on the head
and rendered unconscious. He lay
in the alley until found Sunday
morning by an employe of the Radis-
son hotel. Mr.. Morehouse was taken
to the city hospital, and later re-
turned to his home. While badly
bruised he has been able to resume
his work. Minneapolis appears to- be

California has a law on its statute
books which makes it a misde-
meanor to give information to any
employer that an employe has served
time in prison. If an individual is
making an honest effort to reform
