CALONEL SELDOM
SOLD HERElNOW
Nasty drug salivates, makes you
sick and you lose
days work.

Every druggist in town-your drug
gist and everybody's druggist has no
ticed great falling-off in the sale Of
calomel. They all give the same rea-
son. Dodson's Liver Tone is taking
it's place.
'Calomel is dangerous and people
know it, while Dodson's Liver Tone
is perfectly safe and gives better re-
Suits" said prominent local druggist.
Dodson's Liver Tone is personally
guaranteed by every druggist who sells
it, A large bottle costs so cents, and
if it fails to give easy relief in every
case of liver sluggishness and con-
stipation, you have only to ask for
your money back.
Dodson's Liver Tone is a pleasant
tasting, purely vegetable remedy, harm
less to both children and adults. Take
a spoonful at night and wake up feel
ing fine; no biliousness, sick headache,
acid stomach or constipated bowels.
It doesn't gripe or cause inconvenience
all the next day like violent calomel
Take a dose of calomel today and to-
morrow you will feel weak, sick and
nauseated. Don't lose a days work!
Take Dodson's Liver Tone instead and
feel fine, full of vigor and AMBITION

EASY WAY TO HEAL
COMMON SKIN-TROURLES

A Baltimore doctor suggests this
simple, but well-tried and inexpensive
home treatment for people suffering
with eczema, ringworm, rashes and
similar itching, burning skin troubles.
At any reliable druggists get jar
of resinol ointment and cake of res
inol soap. These are not at all expen-
sive. With the resinol soap and warm
water battle the affected parts thor
oughly, until they are free from crusts
and the skin is softened. Dry very
gently, spread on thin layer of the
resinol ointment, and cover with a
light bandage, if necessary, to protect
the clothing. This should be done
twice day. Usually the distressing
itching and burning stop with the first
treatment, and the skin soon be-
comes clear and healthy again un-
less the trouble is due to some
serious internal disorder. Samples

Life StruooIe of the Trees.


An interesting light is thrown on
the longevity Of the trees that grow
along the timber line of the Rocky
mountains by Enos A. Mills in his
recently published Rocky Mountain
Wonderland" He says:
A few timber-line trees live thou
sand years, but half this is ripe old
age for most of the timber-line vet
Grams. The age of these trees can.
not be judged by their size or by their
general appearance. There may be
centuries of difference in the ages of
two arm-in-arm trees of similar size.
I examined two trees that were grow
ing within a few yards Of each other
In the shelter of crag. One was
IA feet high and 16 inches in diane
ter, and had 337 annual rings. The
other was seven feet high and five
inches in diameter, and had lived four
hundred and ninety-two years.
One day, by the sunny and sheltered
side Of bowlder, found tiny seed
bearer at an altitude of 1880 feet
How splendidly unconscious it was
of it's size and it's utterly wild sur
roundings! This brave pine bore 9
dainty cone, yet drinking glass would
have completely housed both the tree
and its fruit.-Youth Companion.

INDIANS OF THE VALLEY

desert more accessible and more easy
and certain Of remunerative develop
ment that the eyes of the colonist are
turned toward the less attractive,
says Walter Fischer in the Bulletin of
the Pan-American Union.
The most convenient method of
reaching the valley today is for the
traveller to take the train which leaves
Buenos Aires at 6:37 in the evening,
arriving at Bahia Blanca at 1926 the
following morning. Leaving Bahia
Blanca again at 9:55 on one of the tri-
weekly trains he reaches Neuquen at
1926 that night; there he passes the
night in hotel or inn, leaves at 5:20
in the morning and gets to the end of
the line on a mixed freight and pas
senger train at either 10:30 or 12:45
noon, according to which Of the bi-
weekly trains he happens to have

River Is Dark and Swift.
We are more particularly concerned
with that part of the valley extending
eastward one degree of longitude, or
about sixty miles, from the juncture
of the two rivers to the small station
of Chichinales. The valley is narrow
here, not more than ten miles from
bluff to bluff, with the fertile, irrigable
land north of the river about half that
width at it's widest and narrowing
down to almost nothing where the
rivers meet The Rio Negro itself is a
dark and silent, deep and rapid
stream; steamer is said to take only
as many hours to make the down trip
as it takes days to ascend the swift
current.

into Wonderland with Alice, where
things wouldn't come straight The
little girls go to school in groups, and
with them is always an old servant
who carries all their books on what
looks for all the world like a small

in two long lines attended by their
teacher. They carry their own books
and wear long trousers and fezzes ex

tiny girls carry their own little tables
and drawing boards. In the gypsy vii

Timidity prevents man from be-

himself, he asks others what to do,
what he shall think, how he SHAH feel.

NHOMAS FALKNER, in his
book, speaks of the Rio Negro
as the largest river of Pata-

book, speaks of the Rio Negro
as the largest river of Pata-
gonia. 1t is not only the larg-
est river of Patagonia but, next to the
La Plata and it's two large tributaries,
which do not, however, belong to Ar
gentina alone, the largest Of the Ar
gentine Republic. Roughly speaking,
it drains large triangular piece of
territory lying between sc and AZ de-
grees of latitude south, with the base
following the line Of the watershed be-
tween Chile and Argentina and the
apex resting at the mouth of the river
on the Atlantic coast just south of
the fortieth parallel Of latitude. Falk-
ner gives quite list of names for this
stream, Of which the Indian name of
Curu Leuvu has been retained to this
day in the Spanish translation of Rio
Negro.
1t is not to be wondered at that the
Spaniards neglected the inhospitable
coast Of southern Argentina in those
early days Of conquest and settlement.
No one could be expected to settle
down in an unattractive and desert
country while there was an unlimited
supply of more desirable lands closer
at hand and to be had only for the

Knife the Best Weapon.


To-day the defense stands pat on
earthworks, wire and machine guns.
The attack has tried gas, petrol,
bayonets, siege artillery, field artillery,
grenades and mines, and has come
out, generally speaking, second best.
Trench mortars have not developed
the requisite accuracy nor the re-
quisite destructive power. High ex-
plosive shells in sufficient quantities
have accomplished the best offensive
work, and the infantry is depending
more and more on a short, heavy
knife, which is the best for work
underground or in the dark. To sum
up: Killing the defenders Of a posi-
ton is accomplished by shells fired at
least two miles away on the aver
age; and, secondly, by what the
French call body-to-body fighting, for
which knife is the best weapon.
