CALOMEL DYNANITES YOUR LIVER!
MAKES YOU SICK AND SALIvATES

Tone tonight. Your druggist or dealer
sells you 80 cent bottle of Dodson's
Liver Tone under my personal money
back guarantee that each spoonful will
clean your sluggish liver better than a
dose of nasty calomel and that it won't
make you sick.
Dodson's Liver Tone is real liver
medicine. You'll know it next morning
because you will wake up feeling fine,
your liver will be working; headache
and dizziness gone; stomach will be
sweet and bowels regular.
Dodson's Liver Tone is entirely vege-
table, therefore harmless and can not
salivate. Give it to your children.
Millions of people are using Dodson's
Liver Tone instead of dangerous calomel
now. Your druggist will tell you that
the sale of Calomel is almost stopped

Cost of Crops

The time has come when
more emphasis should be
placed upon the profits re-
ceived from crops, livestock
and other farm products
than upon the size Of the crop.
the number of animals, etc
The idea has been that more
acres mean more bales OF cot
ton, mere bushels OF corn,
more tons Of hay, etc, when
little account has been taken
OF the cost OF production and
the consequent profit upon
the investigation and labor.
No doubt this has been a re
suit Of keeping no accounts,
without which it is practically
impossible to determine the
profit or loss in farm opera
.tions Sone have reasoned
that larger acreage is the
only logical way to Increase
the yield. But every pro-
yressive manager knows that
there are other ways OF in
Icreasing the yield and perhaps
better ways OF making larger
profits. The time has come
when accounts must be kept,
and every acre required tc
give a strict account In re-
turns tor the capital and labor
employed for productive pur-
poses.
Every manager should have
a definite idea of the cost OF
bale OF cotton. a bushel o.
corn, a pound Of butter, a doz
en- eggs, etc. The seasons
will vary and the cost O
production will be greater
some years than it will If
other seasons when less work
is required, but it is possible
to find an approximate cost
and this every progressive
manager should strive to do.
Farming need not be as
uncertain as it is generally
considered. 1t need not be
as indefinite as most people
think. There are many thing:
we could do to give stability
security and permanence te

MORE ATTENTION TO BRIDGES
Greatest Menace to Tractor Which
Could Be Put to More Use on Many
of the Small Farms.

{ We will never be able to readily
make much use of the gas or steam
tractor on the farms until we make up
our minds to pay more attention to our
roads and bridges. Especially the
bridges. They are the greatest men
ance to the tractor and the tractors
driver, and there has been little i'm
provement in the type of bridges since
the engine was put to work on the
farms, writes William E. Rose Of Iowa
in Farm Progress.
1t is rather strange that we are will
ing to use the traction engine to pull
our road plows and our road graders
and still refuse to build bridges and
,culverts strong enough to allow the
same engine to pass in safety when
pulling threshing outfit or train of
farm wagons. But it is the truth, nev.
iertheless.
In spite of all the possibilities of the
tractor, or the old-fashioned traction
engine, lot of people look upon it as
an ugly contraption that ruins road
surfaces, smashes culverts, breaks
down bridges, scares horses and sets
fire to meadows and rail fences. 4,
It is altogether wrong. We could
make splendid use of the tractor on
any and all farms Of more than eighty
acres. Some day we will make these
engines do much Of the work, the
heavy hauling done by horse teams,
and we will save money by so doing.
But that time will not come until we
have better roads. And that cannot
comes to pass until we get better su-
pervision of road building than. we
have at present.
In many states the traction driver
who crosses a bridge takes chance
not only of injury to himself and his
expensive engine, but also assumes the
liability Of having to repair the bridge
II he breaks it down. Such laws dis
courage the use of tractors as much
as they do better road building. The
bridges are>the worst feature Of this
condition.
The tractor has right to use the
public highways. 1t has just as much
right to the public road as the heavy
automobile, the overloaded farm wag-
on or any other heavy conveyance.
The men who build such engines and
the men who would like to own and
use them should insist that these ma
chimes be given that right. No one
dreams of forcing the automobile OF
the public highways now, and the over
loaded farm wagon has used the pablo

roads since they were the merest
trails.
The heavy wheels and the weight OF
tractor help pack the highways and
make them more durable. The big
wheels compact the road surface, and
this is one reason why the tractor is
80 efficient as road grader and build
er. With good bridges and solidly built
culverts there will be no trouble with
the usual type Of tractor, whether gas
or steam. r,
We are going to have to pay more
attention to the kind Of work contrac-
tors do on our steel and concrete
bridges and we will be forced to see
that the original specifications make
allowance for the weight of tractors.

EIGHTH GRADE TUITION.
All Boys and Girls of Michigan Should
Have the Benefit Of High
School Education.

Fifty thousand boys and girls are at
tending the high schools of Michigan.
One third of these live in the rural dis
tricts The law provides that when a
pupil has completed the eighth grade
in the rural school his district must pay
his tuition not to exceed $50 to some
high school in Michigan selected by the
pupils. .
Application for this tuition must be
made by the parent or guardian on or
before the fourth Monday in June. The
Department of Public Instruction calls
attention to these facts in order that
parents may plan for their children for
next year. Send your boys and girls
to high school. Michigan has good high
schools in every part of the state.
But first of all, keep your child in
school now. regularly, so that he will
get thoroughly the work of the elemen-
tary grades. Success later in life is
based upon a thorough mastery of the
common branches.
