CALONIEL SALIVATES AND
MAKES YOU SICK
Acts Like Dynamite on a Sluggish
Liver and You Lose a Days
Work.

There is no reason why person
should take sickening, salivating, cal
omel when fifty cents buys a large
bottle 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 does not
make you sick and cannot salivate.
Children and grown folks can take
Dodson's Liver Tone because 1t 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 nau
seated tomorrow. Don't lose a days
work. Take teaspOonful of Dod-
sons Liver Tone instead and you viii
wake up feeling great. No more bili-
BUSINESS, constipation or sluggishness

Tone acts better than horrible calo-
mel your money is waiting for you.

OIL MEN ARE PLEASED WITH
INDICATIONS

Oil men interested in the drilling
Of three or four wells in this county
report themselves as pleased with
their prospects. Rumors have been
in circulation today to the effect that
oil-bearing sand has been found at
a depth of 1880 feet in the well be-
ing drilled northeast of Bennington
in section 32-5-13 by the Harmony
OIL and Gas Company, headed by d.
N. Wheeler. of this city. When Mr..
Wheeler was seen by a representa-
tive of this paper. he declined to
either verify or deny the report, but
said that his people we're pleased
and elated with their prospects.
Mr.. Wheeler has had lot of trou-
BILE with his well being drilled on
the Kiersey place near Kiersey. AT
81 feet they struck quicksand- which
was % feet deep, but finally succeed
eo in casing It Off The hole is now
down about 260 feet, Mr.. wheeler
says, and they are about straighten-
ed out so as to be'able to go ahead
with the well. They had trouble
with losing tools, bad jobs of casing,
and so forth.
The well being drilled on the Leo
Thompson place, two miles south
east of this city, by S. B. Longfel-
low, Jr., is said to be down between
450 ana 500 feet, and while those
interested refuse to give out any
thing definite. they expressed them
selves as highly gratlfled with their
prospects.
