EVER SALNATFD BY
 CALOAEL? HORRIBLE!
CalOmeI Is Quicksilver and Acts Like Dynamite on Your
 Liver.

Calomel loses you dayl You know what calomel is. l.s mercury {; quicksilver. Calomei IS dangerous. It crashes into sour bile like dyra- mite, cramping and sickening yon. Calomel attacks the bones and should never be put into your sys- tenn.
 When you feel bilious, sluggish. constipated and all knocked out and believe you need a dose of danger ous calomel just remember that your druggist sells for fifty cents a large bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone. which is entirely vegetable and pleasant to take and is perfect substitute for calomel. It is guar anteed to start your liver without stirring you up inside, and cannot saiVate.
 Don't take calomel. It makes you sick the next day; it loses you a days work. Dodson's Liver Tone straiehtens you right up and you feel great. Give it to the children because it is perfectly harmless and don't gripe-Adv.

CHRISTMAS TURKEY AND THE "TRIMNINS'
Hints For the Holiday Dinner By Miss Marcella Arthur of Extension x Division.

The Idea of having a trukey for Christmas dinner was made popular by our forefathers and will continue to be so until the end of posterity un- less the high cost of birds demands n different choice.
 Geese and ducks, although harder to digest than turkeys and chickens. are used to good advantage as substi- tutes for the turkey and chicken-and especially should they be used this year when turkeys are selling at such high prices.
 The selection of a bird is of vast importance to the housewife. Always avoid bird with large skeleton un- less 1t weighs from IS to 30 pounds. A 10 or 12 pound bird with a large skeIe- ton is absolute waste to the house wife because 1t contains more bone than meat, while a small, plump bird Of 10 or 12 pounds having a larger proportion of flesh than bone is a good bird. A good turkey has dark legs with the cartilage of the end of the breastbone soft and pliable-an abund- ance of pin feathers indicates a young bird while long hairs denote age. Good geese abound in pin feathers; they should be plump have soft feet and pliable bills
