CALOMEL DYNAM|TES
A SLUGGISH LIVER
Crashes into Sour bile, making
you sick and you lose
a days work.

Calonel saliyates It's mercury.
Calomel acts like dynamite on a
sluggish liver. When calomel comes
into contact with sour bile it crashes
into it, causing cramping and nausea.
If you feel billions, headachy, con-
stipated and all knocked out, just 60
to your druggist and get a so cent
bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone, which
is a harmless vegetable substitute for
dangerous calomel. Take a spoonful
and if it doesn't start your liver and
straighten you up better and quicker
than nasty calomel and without max
ing you sick, you just 60 back and
get your money.
If you take calomel today you'll be
sick and nauseated tomorrow; be-
sides, it may saliyate you, while if
you take Dodson's Liver Tone you
viii wake up feeling great, full of
ambition and ready for work or play.
1t is harmless, pleasant and safe to
give to children; they Ike it.

Some comment having been raised
over the statement made by Mr.. John
Randolph in that only small handful
of Grant parish people favored the
Boyce route" for the jefferson High
way, we desire to say that the senti-

sentiment in Grant parish. In Colfax
fully nineteen-twentieths of the people
are opposed to the Boyce route, and We
honestly believe that in the balance of
the parish the opposition is much
greater.
