$1,000,000, we would like to ask
who got swindled?- Milan Stand

For Missouri-Kansas or Colorado?

GOunty democrat.
And it Was Perfectly Proper.
On Feb. S the Missouri senate

He Certainly Has Some Nerve.
The nerviest cuss we have run
across is Republican member of
the legislature from St. Louis who
has introduced a bill to re-district
Missouri in the interest of the Re-
publican party.-Henry County

Still Faithful to Their Trust.
Republican senators who are
fighting the ship purchasing plan
of the president are certainly faith
full to their trust. Unfortunately it
is the ship trust, however.-Lin.

When He Reduces Republican
Majority.
Billy Sunday we learn is convert
ing the heather of Philadelphia by
the thousands daily. We will be-
lieve this if we find the Republican
majority of that city is wiped out
or materially reduced at the next
election.-Boonville Advertiser.
And All the Voters.
Ex-President Taft says that he
favors but one term for the presi-
dent. In this case ex-President Taft
is in harmony with a great majority
of his fellow countrymen who retir-
ed him very unceremoniously to
private life after he had laughed
himself through one term in the
White House.-Boonville Adver-
tiser.
The Issue is Clearly Defined.
In fine. the air has been cleared.
We know exactly what's what and

To Keep Cut Flowers.

For the dining room table fill q
large vase half full of water. roll It's
sue paper into a loose handle and
place this in the water. Cut any
short-stemmed flower which you
wish to use-pansies or mig nonette
are pretty in this way-and set
them in the vase. The paper will
keep the flowers from slipping down
and being damp will retain their
freshness. Water may be added as
necessary and the flowers will keep
for days. If one wishes to keep cut
flowers for some special occasion
wrap their stems in cotton batting
place them in box as nearly air
tight aa you can make it and set
them away in cool dark place.
Where a budded plant is desired to
bloom speedily. place in a warm
window and water frequently with
very warm water. If the buds are
to be retarded set away in a cool
dark closet and give only what wat
er is absolutely needed for the
health of the plant.-LaBelle Star.

CALOMEL DYNANiITES
A SLUGGISH LIVER.
Crashes Into Sour Bile, Making You
Sick, and You Lose Days Work.

Calomel salivates! It's mercury.
Calomel acts like dynamite on a slug
eish liver. When calomel comes into
contact with sour bile it crashes into
1T, causing cramping and nausea.
If you feel bilious, headachy, con-
stipated and all knocked out, Just go
to your druggist and get 5O-cent
bottle Of Dodson's Liver Tone, which
is harmless vegetable substitute for
dangerous calomel. Take q spoonful
and if it doesn't start your liver and
straighten you up better and quicker
than nasty calomel and without MAX
ing you sick, you just go back and
get your money.
If you take calomel to-day you'll
be sick and nauseated tomorrow;
besides. 1t may salivate you, while IL
you take Dodson's Liver Tone you
Will wake up feeling great, full Of
ambition and ready for work or play.
It's harmless, pleasant and safe to
give to children; they like it.-Adv.
