EVEN THE GRAVY WAS TOUGH
Man Who Bought Piece Of Steak Is
Shown by Butcher Where He Has
Nothing to Kick About.

William Alden Smith of Michigan,
replied in the course of a dispute:
Everything goes by comparison. The
man, for instance, who thinks his own
condition almost uncomfortable has only
to look about him to find some other
man who is far worse. Take the case
Of one customer and his butcher.
Say" said the customer, that
last piece of steak I bought of you
must have come from a steer old
enough to vote"
"'Was it tough?'
Was it tough! the man reiterated
Well, I should say it was. 1 could
scarcely cut it.
oh, is that all? Well, you should
have heard Riley kicking day or two
ago. He bought piece over to the
new market, and he said it was so
tough he couldn't get his fork into the
gravy"

STOP! CALONEL
IS QUICKSILVER
It's mercury! Attacks the bones
salivates and makes
you sick.

There's no reason why person
should take sickening, ,salivating Gallo
mel when so cents buys large bottle
of Dodson's Liver Tone-a perfect sub
stitute for calomel.
1t is pleasant, vegetable liquid which
will start your liver just as surely as
calomel, but it doesn't make you sick
and can not salivate
Children and grown folks can take
Dodson's Liver Tone, because it is per
fectly 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 nauseated to-
morrow. Don't lose days work. Take
a spoonful of Dodson's Liver Tone in
stead and you viii wake up feeling
great. No more biliousness, constipa-
tion, sluggishness, headache, coated
tongue or sour stomach. Your drug
gist says if you don't find Dodson's S
Liver Tone acts better than horrible
calomel your money is waiting for you.

DOUBLE CONTEMPT OF COURT
Gen. Gilman Marston Was Thoroughly
Disguised With Court and vii.
ling to Pay for 1t.

The following anecdote is told Of
Gen. Gilman Marston, a once famous
New Hampshire lawyer:
General Marston was attending
court at small country town when a
young attorney made a motion that
was denied by the court. The young
man demonstrated against what he
thought was the wrong ruling of the
Judge. So vehemently did he do so
that he was fined SO for contempt Of
court. An older attorney took the
matter up, and he was fined a similar
sum. Still another, who thought he
stood a little better with the Judge,
endeavored to straighten the matter
out, but he, too, enriched the Golfers
OF the state by paying "ten-spot" for
contempt.
General Marston was then seen to
rise in his seat and advance to the
clerks desk. Taking his long pocket
book from his pocket, he took out
two SO bills and laid them on the
desk.
What is that for?" said the Judge.
II want you to distinctly under
stand" said the general, that l have
just twice as much contempt for this
court as any man here, and I am pay.
ing for it."

Putting a Kick in Cider j.,

Farmers in western section of the
country have found way to beat
the local option laws. Thousi mds of
gallons of cider were made in that Sec

discovered that by running it Through
a cream separator the water is ex-
tracted, leaving little but the pure all
cohol remaining.

one farmer, who allowed his barrel of
cider to sit in the warm November
sun for two weeks before giving it the
cream separator test.
Since his discovery others arr, filling
their cellars with jugs of the extracted
juice to tide 'em over the winter
