STOP! CALOMEL

It's mercury Attacks the bones,

you sick.

There's no reason why person should
take sickening, salivating calomel when
80 cents buys large bottle of Dodson g
Liver Tone-a perfect substitute for
calomel.
1t is pleasant, vegetable liquid
which will start your liver just as
surely as calomel, but it doesn It make
you sick and can not salivate.
Children and grown folks can take
Dodson's Liver Tone because it is per
fectly harmless.
Calomel is a dangerous drug. 1t is
mercury and attacks your bones. Take
dose of nasty calomel today and you
will feel weak, sick and nauseated to-
morrow. Don t lose days work. Take
spoonful of Dodson's Liver Tone in
stead and you will wake up feeling
great. No more biliousness, constipa
ton, sluggishness, headache, coated
tongue or sour stomach. Your druggist
says if you don It find Dodson's Liver
Tone acts better than horrible calomel

"A ri - r IC''
The Latest Discovery In Medicine.
WHY SUFFER FROM BAcKAcHE, LUMBAGo, RHEUMATISM 2

cause old people usually suffer from
hardening and thick ening of the walls
of the arteries, due to the excess of uric
acid in the blood and tissues.
DIR. Pierce, chief physician at the In
valids' Hotel and Surgical Institute,
Buffalo, N. Y, has been testing this
wonderful medicine for the relief of
overworked and weakened kidneys The
relief obtained by sufferers has been so
satisfactory that he determined to place
"ANURIC" with the principal drug
gists in town whore people could get
this ready-to-use medicine.
"ANURICo is not harmful or poison
Gus, but aids nature in throwing off
those poisons within the body which
cause so much suffering, pain and misery.
If you want quick relief buy it now
or send DR.. Pierce Toe. for trial pkg, or
$1.00 for full treatment This will
prove to you that "Anurie' eliminates
uric acid from the system as hot water
melts sugar.

1t is now asserted with confidence
that these painful effects due to uric
acid in the system are entirely eradi-
Gated. A remedy, called "ANURIC, 3"
has been discovered by DIR. Pierce in his
hospital practice, which he believes is
thirty-seyen times more potent than
lithia, and is the cause of drainage out
ward of the uric acid with which it comes
in contact within the body. 1t will ward
off baekache, headache, and the darting
pains and aches of articular or muscular
rheumatism-of those diseases which are
caused by too much uric acid, such as
govt, asthma, sciatica, or sore, stiff, ach-
ing joints.
When the kidneys are weak or dis
eased, these natural filters do not
cleanse the blood sufficiently, and the
poisons are carried to all parts of the
body. There follow depression, aches
and pains, heaviness, drowsiness, irrita-
bility. "ANURIC" prolongs life be-

PHRASE ESTABLISHED AS OLD
Expression an Our Midst" Is Not Ao'
cepted by the Fastidious Users
of Our Language.

The phrase, Gin our midst" is SOUND
English, but it is not used much by
those who have regard for the plain
meaning of the words rather than for
their idiomatic force. It turns up oc-
casionally in an American newspaper
or in speech in congress, but the
more fastidious shun it. 1t appears to
be in good newspaper standing in Eng
land, however, for the Daily Tele-
graph has just used 1t on two sue
cessive days, once in the heading Of a
leading editorial article, namely, Ger
mans in Our Midst" and again in a
special article, as thus: "The foreign
restaurant grew up and flourished in
our midst" If the editorial writer had
headed his article, Germans Among
U.s." it would have been quite intimate
enough for personal comfort, while the
idea of foreign restaurant, or even
q native one, growing and flourishing
Sin our midst" is decidedly painful or
decidedly grotesque, according as one
may feel about it.
The word midst means middle, and
sounds all right as Shakespeare used
It., Gin the midst of the fight" or as
the Bible uses it, Gin the midst
of the garden" Gin the midst of the
cloud" Gin the midst of Jordan" and
so on, or in that famous passage, For
where two or three are gathered to-
gether in my name, there am l in the
midst of them" Where the idea is
objective or collective there is moth
ing unpleasant in speaking of its midst
or the midst of them; but when our
midst" is said to be crammed with a
hostile people, or with growing res
taurant, the normal meaning is clearly
subjective and personal, and is alto
gether too suggestive of green apple
days and later stomach ache. The
idiom is good, but diagram is re-
quired with the usage in order to save
one from a wholly extraordinary, not
to say nonsensical, indigestion.-Hart-
ford Courant.

Back to Hooks and Eyes.

A hook and eye revival may pos
sibly result in England from the short.
age in those useful metal press-studs
which during the past few years have
to a very large extent been used as a
fastening for ladies' dresses. The man.
ufacture of these press-studs was prln-
cipally in the hands of the Germans,
and the result Of the stoppage of sup.
plies is to be seen in the price which
now has to be paid for them. Prior
to the war diapers were able to sell
these fastenings two dozen or three
dozen, mounted on card, for a penny.
The most they can now give for the
money is six. Diapers report that they
are experiencing very great difficulty
in obtaining further supplies, and
when present stocks are exhausted
have no idea when they can be re-
plenished. The only alternative there.
fore appears to be a return to the
hooks and eyes.

FIeas as Broad Jumpers.

The jumping powers Of fieas have
been much exaggerated, according to
a bulletin on these insects recently
issued by the department of agricul.
ture. The species known as the hui
man flea (Pulex irritans) is probably
the best jumper According to Mitz'
main, the maximum horizontal dis.
lance this species can jump is thir.
teen inches and the maximum vertf
cal distance less than eight inches.
The question of the flea's jumping
powers is of Importance in connection
with the spread of bubonic plague
and other diseases of which this in,
sect is the carrier. The Indian plague
commission, which has investigated
the habits of the Indian rat flea, finds
It's maximum horizontal jump to be
only five inches, while Mitzmain re-
cords the maximum height to which 1t
can jump as three and one-eighth
inches. One species of flea, the stick
tight" is nearly incapable Of jumping.

NATURE HIDES us SECRETS
Scientists, Using the Finest Of Instru-
ments, Admit That They Have
Learned But Little.

Greenwich (Eng) observatory was
founded by Charles II, mainly for the
purpose of investigating the move
ments OF the moon in the interests of
navigation, but though generations of
astronomers have in the intervening
two and half centuries been working
at the problem the moon has not yet
been made amenable to their math-
ematics. The astronomer royal. in his
report of the work at Greenwich dur
ing the last year, calls attention to
the increasingly big deviation between
the calculated position of the moon in
the sky and it's real position as shown
by the Greenwich observations.
This deviation has lately been In
creasing in a serious manner, the error
last year being more than IL times
as large as 1t was 20 years ago, the
average annual increase amounting
in the two decades to half second
of arc in longitude. The cause Of the
failure of astronomers to make the
moon amenable to their exact mathe-
mates, based on the dynamical laws OF
gravitation, is believed to be some
attractive force of which we are at
present ignorant, though in all prob
ability one factor is the true shape
