CALOMEL TODAY,
SICK TOMORROW
Dose OF Nasty Calomel Makes You
Sick and You Lose a Days Work.

Calomel salivates! It's mercury.
Calomel acts like dynamite on slug
gish liver. When caloEel comes into
contact with sour bile it crashes into
it, causing cramping and nausea.
If you feel bilious, headachy, con-
stipated and all knocked out, just go
to your druggist and get 50-cent bot
tie of Dodson's Liver Tone, which IS
harmless vegetable substitute for
dangerous calomel. Take 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 go back and
get your money.
II you take calomel today you'll be
sick and nauseated tomorrow; be-
sides. it may salivate you. VIII lie il
you take Dodson's Liver Tone you will
wake up feeling great, full Of ambi-
ton and ready for work or play. It's
harmless, pleasant and safe TO give to
children: they lik. it.

Travellers Ink.

White blotting paper is saturated
with aniline black and several sheets
are pasted together so as to form a
thick paste. When required for use a
small piece is torn off and covered
with a little water. This makes a
good writing ink. A square inch Of
paper will produce enough ink to do
considerable writing and few pads
would be all that an exploring party
need carry with them. As water is
always available the ink is readily
made.

THE FIRST YEAR VOTER.

''Uncle joe Cannon told the Five
O'Clock clubbers the other evening
that it took the United States census
bureau two months to answer a ques-
ton he asked. This was the question:
How many Of the voters who cast
their ballot for Mckinley and Bryan
in 1896 are now living?
The answer: Only forty-nine out of
every 100. That means that one
half the voters pass out every twenty
years. This fact is we'll to keep in
mind, because remarks like this are
often heard: Remember that $780,
900 men voted for Bryan and Free
Silver
But former Speaker Cannon's quest
for facts shows that only 100000
of the 5000, 900 are here to vote at
the next presidential election. In
deed, the youths who will cast their
first presidential ballots in November
will greatly outnumber the combined
old soldier, hyphen and the negro
vote.

cides virtually every election.-Phil-

ROOSEVELT AND ELLEN STONE.

Mr.. Roosevelt says an enormous
number of things. Among them are
many violent, passionate and unjust
things, and not few of them are
foolish things. But of all the things
he has said or could say nothing
could be more absolutely foolish,
more perfectly childish, than his
boast that during seven and half
years that he was president this ma
ton never for one moment permit
ted any power to wrong this country
or to wrong Americans either IN
their person or property.
During Mr.. RooSevelt's administra-
ton Europe was in profound peace.
England fought war in South Afri-
ca, and Russia fought with Japan in
Korea and Manchuria, but these dis
turbances were so remote that Amer
lean interests were untouched. In
Mexico there was perfect order be-
cause Porfirio Diaz was sitting on the
lid. The Mexican revolution began
in the Taft administration, and the
greatest war that ever occurred, in
volving more nations than were ever
before at war with each other, and
vitality affecting the most Important
branches of our foreign trade, began
seventeen months after Mr.. Wilson
became president.
Does any one need to be told how
imbecile it is for Mr. Roosevelt TO in
yite comparison between his task and
that of Mr.. Wilson?
But we are not confined to gen.
crafty of this sort, though that alone
should be enough to stop the mouth
~ mr. n
talker as Mr. Roosevelt. We invite at
welt did not rescue Miss Ellen Stone
from Macedonian brigands.
She was captured about the time
he became president. She was kept a
prisoner for ransom for six months,
spring of 1902 because private char
ity raised $4,000 and bought her
from the brigands. Mr.. Roosevelt re-
manned president for seven years, and
during that time he did not get the
United States to reimburse private
citizens for the money they paid out
because the United States, with Theo-
dore Roosevelt, at its head, could not
vindicate the rights Of it's citizens in
foreign countries.
Miss Stone was captured IN turkey
by Turkish subjects. She was kept
six months in Turkey and money
raised by benevolent people was paid
for her in Turkey, and she was re-
leased in Turkey. What did Bonn
bastes Furioso Roosevelt do in the
six months Miss Stone was captive, or
the ensuing seven years that he was
president, to make Turkey protect
Miss Stone or to penaliZe Turkey for
its refusal, or it's inability?
Miss Stones case punctures the
bubble of Theodore Roosevelt's self
conceit. -Philadelphia Record.

by which the association will under.
take to. raise one half of the stock
necessary to build the Equity packing
plant. The details were not worked

accomplishment.
At the same time the committee de-
termined to procure blue prints of all
the sites available near the city and
have them with other data ready for
the committee when it visits the city.
The committee is working to elimi-
nate all switching charges which
amount to So per car.
The Independent is not in position
to go into detail very much this week,
but we can say that Minot is after the
plant and will have the best PROPOSE
ton to put up to tho EE oaity when
that organization meets here for the
annual convention Feb. 16, of any of
the cities that are after the plant.
Minot will be assisted by many of
the surrounding towns. Max, Ryder
and other points are organizing and
will attend the Equity meeting loaded
for bear. Farmers turnout this Sec
ton of the state are urged to plan to
attend this meeting.
