CALOMEL IS FORM
OF DEADLY MERCURY
Instead 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,
mineral and poison. Dodson's
Liver Tone is an all.vegetable liquid
never harmful.
What calomel does unpleasantly
and often with danger for constipa-
ton and sluggish liver. Dodson's
Liver Tone does for you safely and
pleasantly, with no pain and no grippe.
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 il does for people. Its merit Is
backed up by guarantee OF "satis-
| faction or your money back" as
Walton & Smoot, the druggists, will
tell you.
Dodson's Liver Tone was intended
from the start to take place Of Gallo
mel. The label on the bottle always
has said so, beginning with the first
bottle sold.
Dodson's Liver Tone ''livens the
liver" overcomes constipation agree
ably and makes You feel good, and ii
you are not satisfied completely with
| it Walton & Smoot. will hand back
the purchase price (50c.) to you with
smile.
When you go to buy family rem
edy, don't fail to Judge between the
plain, simple truth about Dodson's
and the loud claims of its imitators.
That the public does so accounts for
the enormous increase in the sales of
Dodson's Liver Tone month after
month.

Down Where All The Apples Grow
BY THE BENTzTowN BARD.

(Erom the Baltimore Sum-
Captain Jones, conductor of the Pull
man, where she goes
The Southern railway local-to the
Dixie-land of rose,
Has let me off at Woodstock, and my
feet are tresding air,
And the wind OF spring is blowing
through my spirit and my hair;
The blue hills OF Virginia are around
me, and below
The Valley of Virginia hears the
Shenandoah flow.
I'm in the land OF apples, in the or.
chard-lands of dew,
Where spring comes smiling at you
while her eyes are twinkling blue,
And for miles along the Southern all
the trees are lea6ng out,
And the heart within you answers and
your spirit wants to shout,
And the birds are making morning iu
the valley with their song,
And you wish you'd stay in Wood
stock till the judgment comes along.
You meet the hearty people and they
take you by the hand,
And they make you feel forever right
at home in Dix;elard.
And the spring wind comes to kiss
you, and the vines and trees are glad
With the warning lips of April, and
You wish you were lad
To hike off to the river where the
clubs will start to bite,
And fish from break of morning to the
soft Virginia night.
Down where all the apples grow the
Captains let me stop
And all Virginia apples are those fine
ones on the top;
And all Virginia people are the same
no seconds there,
In all that golden valley of the fresh
and lovely air,
OF the orchards, and the pastures, and
the green wheat on the way
To meet the kiss of summer when the
roses come in May.

Field guns stick their muzzles out

The nearer to Russia proper. the far

raylncs.
Germans and Russians compete in
roadmaking. The Germans are the
worse off. They have abundant MOTOR
transports, which they cannot use on
the soft tracks. The Russians can
uso the railroads at their rear.
hre--are busy making roads on an un-
cNampled scale. Nothing since the
building of the pyramids has been
done IN such vast, organized way. Ny
riads Of peasants-men and women
are drilled in units, paid so kopeks
a day. fed with rye bread, and set to
make roads.
Poland has no available stone. and
roads are made with logs. Millions
of pine trees arc hewed, cut in stand

lancous host OF spiIcdrivers, steam
