EVER SAL|vATED BY
CALOMEL? HORRIBLE!
Calomel is quicksilver and acts like
dynamite on your
liver.
10

Calomel loses you day! You
know what calomel is. It's mercury
quicksilver. Calomel is dangerous. 1t
crashes into sour bile like dynamite,
cramping and sickening you. Gallo
mel attacks the bones and should
never be put into your system.
When you feel bilious, sluggish,
constipated and all knocked out and
believe you need dose of dangerous
calomel just remember that your
druggist sells for so cents a large
bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone, which
is entirely vegetable and pleasant to
take and is a perfect substitute for
calomel. 1t is guaranteed to start
your liver without stirring you up
inside, and can not salivate.
Don't take calomel! 1t makes you
sick the next day; it loses you days
work. Dodson's Liver Tone straight
ems you right up and you feel great
Give it to the children because it is
perfectly harmless and doesn't grippe.

GAME COMMISSION
SELECTS WARDENS
Herschel Nicely and Med Donaldson
Two of Five Men Who Will
Enforce New Law.
From Fridays Daily Press)

The state game and fish COM
mission held a meeting in Little
Rock yesterday and selected five
game wardens who will travel over
Arkansas and look after the enforce
ment of the law passed by the re-
cent legislature for the protection
of game and fish in this state.
Among the men chosen for this
position are two former Paragoul-
dians-Herschel Nicely, now resid-
ing at Rector, and Med Donaldson,
living on his fathers farm on Big
Island in Craighead county.
d. G. Beauchamp, chairman Of
the commission, and Messrs. Nicely
and Donaldson returned this morn
ing from Little Rock. The new
game wardens will at once begin
enforcing the provisions of the new
law, and will probably start their
work on the St. Francis river, at
which place it is understood mark
ct fishermen are using seins and
nets contrary to law and are ship
ping game fish, which is also a vi
olation of the law.
The news story sent out yester-
day afternoon from Little Rock
with reference to the meeting Of
the game commission is as follows:
Little Rock, May lathe state
game and fish commission at it's
meeting yesterday decided that the
pay of deputy state game wardens
would be fixed at one thousand dol
lars a year and travelling expenses.
Five NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Nicely Of
Rector, ]. A. Gavin of Stuttgart,
Foster Rogers of Texarkana, Med
Donaldson of Lake City. and Wash
pointed. The wardens will be in
structed to proceed with the en-
forcement of the law Immediately,
according to members of the COM
mission. 1t is probable that other
wardens will be added to this list.
The commission was given an
opinion by Attorney General w. l..
Moose in which he advised that
the game protection fund accruing
from licenses paid and fines could
be used to pay salaries and expenses
of wardens. although the legislature
made no specific appropriation for
that purpose. The fund now to-
tails more than three thousand dol
lars, The commission decided not
to elect a permanent secretary for
two or three months, and no con-
clusion was reached regarding the
amount of salary to be paid that
officer. More than a score have
applied for the position. Lee Miles,
a member of the commission, has
been acting as secretary since the
commission was organized.

throw out the illegal votes and de-
clare Hester the duly elected may

Middleton, upon the other hand
denies he was elected by illegal
