LIv-vER-LAX
All the Effectiveness, Not the Effect
 of Calomel,

LiV-Ver-Lax is one of the most i'm portatn medical discoveries of recent years. For a long time medical eN- Derts, realizing the harmful effects of calomel, have been striving to find a liver cleanser that would be just as effective as calomel, and yet be abso- lutely harmless in it's action. Re gently this remedy was actually put forth by L. K. Grigsby in his Liv-Ver- Lax.
 Liv-Ver-Lax is a harmless vegetable compound, designed solely for the treatment of liver complaints. The Immediate favor it has met in thou. sands of homes is proof positive of its real value.
 If you feel worn out, tongue coat ed, and skin salow, don't delay until 1t becomes dangerous. nip the trouble in the bud with Liv-Ver-Lax. Insist on the genuine. bearing the signature and likeness of l.. K. Grigsby, waich is guaranteed 10 give satisfaction or money refunded.

MOVING PICTURES AND CIGAR
 SALES.

Numberless things have been charg- ed up to the moving pictures since they first came upon the scene a few years ago.
 It was said they would make seri. ous inroads into the receipts of the high-priced theaters, and they have; and that they would incite youthful minds evilly and but for the excel lent censorship that has come per haps that would nave been a result.
 It has remained. however, for some enc to discover that also they have cut largely into the consumption of tobacco and reduced the patronage of the saloons.
 Formerly the chief patronage of the moving picture house came from tho woman and children; but as the busi ness has developed and the quality oi the productions improved the attend anee of men has enormously increas ed. and so, he argues, the time these men who go to the pictures houses have to smoke and drink has been SC materially shortened as to compel ; ourtailment in the net annual con sumption of both tobacco and liquor.
 Tobacco, q well known trade paper meets the argument by recalling that much the same thing was said wher the bicycle craze took mold of the country and that it also was predict ed that general use of the automobile would cut down the number of, cigar, consumed and adds that im neither case did annual figures sustain tn, argument.
 ~ggt the eases are not exactly par auel So many more millions are go ing to picture shows than ever rode bicycles or can afford to own auto mobiles, that it would not do to say off-hand that this discovery of new influence exerted by films is without merit.
