CALONEL TODAY,
SICK Tomorrow
Dose of nasty calomel makes you
sick and you lose
days work.

Calomel salivates! It's mercury.
Calomel acts like dynamite on a slug
gish liver. When calomel comes into
contact with sour bile it crashes into
it, causing cramping and nausea.
If you feel bilious, headachy, consti-
pated and all knocked out, just go to
your druggist and get so cent bottle
of Dodsons Liver Tone,' which is a
harmless vegetable substitute for dan
gerous 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 go back and
get your money.
If you take calomel today you'll be
sick and nauseated tomorrow; besides,
it may salivate you, while if you take
Dodson's Liver Tone you will wake up
feeling great, full of ambition and
ready for work or play. It's harmless,
pleasant and safe to give to children;
they like it.-(Advt.)

HOT WHTER AND s.HWURIC''
BEFORE MEALSzzzAWD HEALTH

All people in America and especially
those who are past middle age are prone
to eat too much meat and in consequence
deposit lime salts in their arteries, veins
and joints. They often suffer from
twinges of rheumatism or lumbagO,
sometimes from gout, swollen hands or
feet. Such people are not always able
to exercise sufficiently in the outdoor air
or drink enough pure water in order to
sweat freely and excrete impurities thru
the skin. DR.. Pierce has conducted eX-
periments and thoroughly tested a uric
acid solvent at his Invalids' Hotel and
Surgical Institute which he is convinced
is many times more potent than ithia-
this he named 'EAnuric' It can be had
at almost all drug stores by simply ask
ing for DR.. Pierce's Anuric for kidneys
or backache. 1t will overcome such con-
ditions as rheumatism, dropsical swell
ings, cold extremities, scalding and burn
ing urine and sleeplessness due to con-
stant need Of getting out of bed at night.

PROVIDING PLACE FOR MICE
Mulch Furnishes Splendid Nest for
Rodents Which Are Sure to In.
jure Young Trees.

One of the indispensable things in
transplanting is mulching, always to
be done in spring. Straw of any kind
placed on the surface of the ground
eight or ten inches thick and extend
Ing three or four feet on each side
of the tree will retain the moisture
and help it to grow-save it's life even,
In very dry summer. But in the
winter the mulch furnishes a good
abiding place for ground mice which
are sure to injure the young trees, or
kill them, by gnawing the bark In
fall or early winter this must be
looked after and the mulch removed
a foot or more from the stem of the
tree. A few shovelfuls of earth
nothing but earth, no grass or weeds
with it-placed around the tree will
be perfect protection, as the little
animals do not work in fresh soil.
This is important. Every spring we
hear Of trees being destroyed by being
girdled by mice. In spring it will be
advantageous to level the soil and ap-
ply the mulch again.

To Shorten Time in School.

An experiment which may prove of
the utmost significance to New York
city's school children, their parents,
and, in q financial way, to the city it.
self, has gone into operation at the
Speyer school, a model elementary
school used in the past largely as a
laboratory for the practice Of educa-
tional theories by teachers college,
It's ultimate object is to reduce by a
year, and possibly by two years, the
length Of the public school course.
The scheme will be tried first on 200
specially selected boys, who have COM
pleted the sixth year in the elemen-
tary school. In two years it is hoped
to cover three years work, so that
they may at the end of that time en-
ter the sophomore classes of the city
high schools. Saving of time is to be
accomplished partly by modification
of curriculum and by improved meth
DDS of instruction, but chiefly by adapt
ing the rate of progress in classes to
ability of the pupils, so that the less
apt in every particular subject will
not retard the advance of the rest.

HOW TO PRUNE APPLE TREES
Avoid Common Practice of CUTTING
Away All Branches That Are Eas-
lily Reached From Ground.

In pruning apple trees, avoid the
common practice of removing all the
branches easily reached from the
ground and leaving all the top
branches. 1t is better to begin at the
top and thin out the branches which
shade the center of the tree too much.
If the tops are too high, lower them
moderately and gradually, but do not
disturb the balance between top and
roots. If there is a large root sys-
tenn it can take care of big top. If
much of this top is suddenly removed
the roots will send up so much more
material than the remaining top can
use that there will be heavy growth
Of water sprouts.
Do not try to do too much at one
time-it is even better to distribute
the work over two years and some
times even three years. Always cut
the branches close to the trunk or
main branch. Never leave a stub to
carry decay to the tree. Paint all cut
surfaces with white lead and raw oil.

WHY HE POSTPONED INQUEST
Pompous Coroner, With Magnified I'm.

There had been a fatal accident at
the railway crossing in town in
Iowa, and the coroner, pompous old
chap, who magnified both his Office

Jury for the inquest.
There was only one witness of the
accident, an illiterate Slav laborer,
who could understand no English.
With him the coroner began to strug-

Can you speak English?" he asked.
The man shook his head.
"Can you speak German?"
Again the man shook his head.
"Can you speak Italian?"
The same response.
"Can you speak Russian? Can you
speak Swedish?" were the next ques-
tions, to both of which the man signi-
fed in the negative.

coroner, turning to the jury. eve can't

Diet of Brain Workers Fixed.

Fish as brain food is now regarded
as merely superstition by modern
science, which puts the seal of ap-
proyal on the food which nourishes
the whole body with special refer
ence to the nervous system
DR.. George NJ Beard says that brain
power is largely an expression through
the nerves of bodily vitality. In re-
cent treastise Doctor Beard points out
that the diet Of brain workers should
be Of large variety, delicately served,
abundantly nutritious, and that fresh
meat should be prominent constitu.

In great crises, however, that call
for unusual exertion, the stomach
should be rested that the brain may
work the harder, but the deficiency of
nutrition ought always to be supplied
in the first interval Of repose.

Soldiers of Europe are taking up the
methods of offense and defense used
In the Wars Of medieval times. The

Now armor is being used by the SOL

exposed positions when scaling the

back the ring he gave the girl and
be arrested for stealing it? He can,

Brooklyn youth. But whether he can
be convicted of grand larceny Is a
question that is causing concern to
several magistrates. The prisoner
pleaded not guilty to the charge made
by his former fiancee, and the case

GIVE BROOD SOWS ATTENTION
Best to Have Animals Farrow at Near

Watch Them Carefully.

Two weeks before the pigs are ex-
pected the SOW should be placed in a
narrowing pen connected with a dry
yard large enough to allow her to ex-

loose. She should have dry, sunny
shelter, free from drafts. The SOW
should be petted, so that she will like
to have her feeder handle her.
It is best to have the sows farrow

owner can watch them day and night

be just enough bedding for comfort

What to Do for
Your Itching Skin

Eczema, ringworm and similar itch
ings, skin eruptions are so easily made
worse by improper treatment, that one
has to be very careful. There is one
method, however, that you need not
hesitate to use, even on baby's ten
der skin-that is, the resinol treat
ment. Resinol is the prescription of
a Baltimore doctor, put up in the form
of resinol ointment and resinol soap.
This proved so remarkably successful,
that thousands of other physicians
have prescribed it constantly for over
20 years.
Resinol stops itching instantly, and
almost always heals the eruption
quickly and at little cost. Resinol
ointment and resinol soap can be
bought at any druggists, and are not
at all expensive.-(Advt.)
