All the Effectiveness, Not
 the Effect of CalOmeI

Liv-V er-LaX is one of the most important medical discover ies of recent years. For a long time medical experts, realizing the harmful effects of calomel, have been striving to find a liv- ar cleanser that would be just as effective as calomel, and yet be absolutely harmless in it's action. Recently this remedy was ac- tually put forth by l.. K. Grigsby in his Liv-Ner-Lax.
 Liv-Ner-LaX is a harmless veg etable compound, designed sole ly for the treatment of liver com plaints. The immediate favor it has met with in thousands of homes is proof positive of it's real value.
 If you feel worn out, tongue coated, and skin sallow, don't de- lay until it becomes dangerous, nip the trouble in the bud with Liv-Ver-LaX. Insist on the gen uine, bearing the signature and likeness of L. K. Grigsby, which IS guaranteed to give satisfac- tion or money refunded. For sale by Hesterly Drug Store.

body was naked except for a white skin
which hung over his right shoulder and
was decorated with tufts Of feathers. He
was painted with white spots and stripes
and looked wild and warlike Another
younger man with him bore In his hand
a war club with white stripes and a
skunk skin at the handle. They formed
line, while in front of them a drum
was beaten with rapid stroke. Several

them sang "Hei. hel. hei" or else "Heh.

air. with the body bent forward while the
drum was strudk a sharp blow and their
weapons were lifted and shaken. In this
manner they jumped about with great
force for over an hour, the sweat rolling
from their bodies. A clear moonlight lit

of the night birds made this a scene to
