WHAT GOVERNOR FRANCIS
SAID.

Ex-Governor Francis once said
the following of newspapers
Each year the local paper
gives from $500 to $1,000 in free
lines to the community in which
it is located. No agency can or
will do this. The editor, i'll pro
portion to his means, does more
for his town than any other ten
men, and in all fairness he ought
to be .supported-not because
you like him or admire his writ
ings, but because the !cca, pa: er
is the test investment a conmun-
itv can make. It may not be
brilliantly edited or crowded with
thought, but financially it is OF
more benefit to the community
than the preacher or teacher

mentally, and yet on moral ques
tons you will find most of the
newspapers on the ryh1
side. Today the editor of the
local papers do the most for thu

Clean Your Sluggish Liver
and Bowels.

Ugh! Calomel makes you sick. It's
horrible! Take a dose of the dangerous
drug tonight and tomorrow you may lose
a days work.
Calomel is mercury or quicksilver
which causes necrosis of the bones.
Calomel, when it comes into contact
with sour bile crashes into it, breaking
it up. This is when you feel that awful
nausea and cramping. If you are slug
gish and "all Knocked out" if your
liver is torpid and bowels constipated

tongue, if breath is bad or stomach sour,
