CAL LOMEL SbLVATES
AND MAKES YOU SICK
Acts Like Dynamite on a Sluggish
Liver and You Lose a
Days Work.

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

An examination Of the above figures
will show that our attendance during
the past month has not been as good in
many respects as we would have liked
for it to have been. However, this is
due for the most part to the fact that
during the month we have had almost
an epidemic of measles and smallpox
in the town and especially among the
children of the schools. At one time
during the month it seemed that the
smallpox condition in town would be
quite serious, as a number of cases OF
a very mild nautTe We're possibly
not recognized by parents or teach
ers, so that in 3 or 4 instances
attended school regularly
while broken out. This was recogniz-
ed in some of the members of the same
family who went down with the dis
ease in a more aggravated form. Your
board, however recognized the danger
the children of our schools
and hoping to ward off any such
scourge, such as visited our sister city
Hugo some few years ago, took the
wise precaution of asking all the chill
dren who attend school to be yaccinat-
ed We find that this precaution has
been so wise in some parts Of the coun-
try that they do not even allow chill
dren to enter until they have been
vaccinated. Most of our parents real
ize the wisdom of your action and for
that reason commend your action. We
believe since taking this precaution We
will not be visited with an epidemic Of
this kind.
am pleased to report also that dur
ing the month our Mothers Clubs in
all the schools have had the largest
and most enthusiastic meetings they
have ever had since l have been con
uected with the schools. The work Of
the schools during the month has been
Of the very highest order and the 9Th
month closing indicates that this will
De the very best year by far that We
have ever experienced since l have
been IN school work.

Kerr and Hudson stated that the sup

Oklahoma City's invitation to hold

the chamber OF commerce.
Oklahoma City supporters were in
clined to discount the assertion that

been pledged by its committeeman to
another city, until Gilmer made his
speech, which was the target of con
siderable criticism from Oklahoma City
sympathizers.
The fight to take the convention to

most part waged by the supporters of
Ben Lafayette of Checotah, one OF the
candidates for national committee

pretty good idea of Seward peoples opinions about Seward will be secured next Monday when the lots in the Terminal tract are put up for sale So far one can see now the sale will depend on Seward people entirely as nothing has been heard of outside money coming to make purchases It must be remembered that the great major iy of the local people have lots of their already and even houses on their own oS that the need for lots is not very great previous experience shows that the demand will be very feverish all signs are false The minimum prices to be placed on lots by the govern ment not be high many parcels of property are to be disposed of Does not that way to You?

SEWARD, ALASKA, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1916

There are members of congress like Gardner of Mas SachusettS and others who to be more favorable to foreign countries than the United States Gardner ac tualy defeats an amendment to the revenue bill which would have favored United States ports against Canadian ports for the shipment of Alaska fish to the east This IS the same Gardner who was recently examined before committee of congress show that he was Stockhoder in munitions plant the desire being apparently to prove that he had legislative influence in matter m which he was financially interested He Is a relative of Senator Lodge by marriage otherwise and Is chip of the same Tory block on which American interests have been behead ed since the time of the revolution
 It is hard for Us to understand up here how any mem berS of congress can be atorouS enough to try to mjue their own country for the benefit of another Over and over again some member of congress has proposed to give the panhandle" of Alaska present to Canada. This would mean giving away the best part of the Alaska coast and separating Alaska by hundreds of miles further from the United States proper It would give our capital away and would actually make Alaska about as far away from the States as Alaska is from Japan It would give hun dreds of miles of coast line where the United States may some day have terrible need for coang stations why should we wonder that members of the United States congress are found who favor Canadian port for ship ping fish from United States waters to United States ter HtOry in the east?
