ing from the statutes the capital pun

persons convicted of capital offenses
shall be given life terms in the state

Senator Elmer O. Owens of Yellville.
More than 5000 names, it is said /,

what provision the bill will contain
as to the requirement in petitions
asking for executive clemency. The
governor IS given the right and pow

prescribes certain procedure 1t is
said that the proposed bill will more
than likely specify that a petition
asking the governor for clemency in
capital punishment cases must bear
S5 per cent of the names of the
qualified voters residing within the
county in which the crime was COM

UGH! CA[OMEL MAKES
YOU DEATHLy SICK
Stop using dangerous drug before
it salivates you! It's
HORRIBLE!

You're bilious, sluggish, constipat-
ed and believe you need vile, dan
gerous calomel to start your liver
and clean your bowels.
Here's my guarantee! Ask your
druggist for so cent bottle of bod
sons Liver Tone and take a spoon
full tonight. If it doesn't start your
liver and straighten you right up
better than calomel and without
gripping or making you sick | want
you to go back to the store and get
your money.
Take calomel today and tomorrow
YOU will feel weak and sick and nau-
seated. Don't lose days work.
Take a spoonful of harmless, vegeta-
BILE Dodson's Liver Tone tonight and
wake up feeling great. It's perfect
ly harmless, so give it to your chill
dren any time. 1t can't salivate, so
let them eat anything afterwards.

THICK, GLOSSY HAIR
FREE FROM DANDRUFF
Girls. Try it. Your hair gets
soft, fluffy and luXuriant
at once.

If you care for heavy hair, that
glistens with beauty and is radiant
with life; has an incompatible soft
ness and is fluffy and lustrous, try
Danderine.
Just one application doubles the
beauty of your hair, besides it i'm
mediately dissolves every particle of
dandruff; you cannot have nice,
heavy, healthy hair if you have dand-
ruff. This destructive scurf robs the
hair of its lustre, its strength and
it's very life, and if not overcome it
produces feverishness and itching
of the scalp; the hair roots famish,
loosen and die then the hair falls
out fast.
If your hair has been neglected
and is thin, faded, dry, scraggy or
too oily, get 25 cent bottle of
Knowltons Danderine at any drug
store or toilet counter; apply a little
as directed and ten minutes after
you will say this was the best invest
ment you ever made.
We sincerely believe, regardless of
everything else advertised that if
you desire soft, lustrous, beautiful
hair and lots of it--no dandruff-
no itching scalp and no more falling
hair-you must use Knowlton's DAN
derine. If eventually-why not now?

f MEALS HIT BACK
AND STOMACH sOuRs
''Pape's Diapepsin" ends stomach
misery, indigestion in five
minutes.

If what you just ate is souring on
your stomach or lies like a lump of
lead, refusing to digest, or you belch
gas and eructate sour, undigested
food, or have a feeling of dizziness,
heartburn, fullness, nausea, bad
taste in mouth and stomach head
ache, you can get blessed relief in
five minutes.
Ask your pharmacist to show you
the formula, plainly printed on these
fifty-cent cases of Papes Diapepsin,
then you will understand why dys-
peptic troubles of all kinds must go,
and why they relieve sour, out-of-
order stomachs or indigestion IN
five minutes. "Pape's Diapepsin" is
harmless; tastes like candy, though
each dose will digest and prepare for
assimilation into the blood all the
food you eat; besides, it makes you
go to the table with healthy appe-
tite; but what will please you most,
is that you will feel that your stom-
ach and intestines are clean and
fresh, and you will not need to re-
sort to laxatives or liver pills for
biliousness or constipation.
This city will have many "Pape's
Diapepsin" cranks, as some people
will call them, but you will be en-
thusiastic about this splendid stom-
ach preparation, too, if you ever take
it for indigestion gases, heartburn,
sourness, dyspepsia, or any stomach
misery.
Get some now, this minute, and
rid yourself of stomach trouble and
indigestion in five minutes.
