TRY 1T! SUBSTITUTE
FOR NASTY CALOMEL

Starts Your Liver Without Making You
Sick and Cannot Salivate
Every druggist in town-your
druggist and everybody's drug
gist has noticed a great falling
off in the sale of calomel. They
all give the same reason. Dod-
sons Liver Tone is taking its
place.
"Calomel is dangerous and
people know it, while Dodson's
Liver Tone is perfectly safe and
gives better results" said a
prominent local druggist. Dod-
sons Liver Tone is personally
guaranteed by every druggist
who sells it. A large bottle costs
SO cents, and if it fails to give
easy relief in every case of liver
sluggishness and constipation,
you have only to ask for your
money back.
Dodson's Liver Tone is a pleas
ant-tasting, purely vegetable
remedy, harmless to both chill
dren and adults. Take a spoon
full at night and wake up feeling
fine; no biliousness, sick head
ache, acid stomach or constlpated
bowels. 1t doesn't grippe or cause
Inconvenience all the next day
like violent calomel. Take a dose
of celomel today and tomorrow
you will feel weak, sick and
nauseated. Don't lose a days

instead and feel fine, full of

A SLICE OF BREAD.

A single slice of bread seems an
unimportant thing. In many house
holds one or more slices Of bread dali
~ r thrown away and not used for
human food. Sometimes stale quar-
ter, or half loaves are thrown out.
Yet one good-sized slice of bread
such as a child likes to cut-weighs
an ounce. It contains almost three
fourths of an ounce Of flour.
If every of the country's TO-
000, 900 homes wastes on the average
only one such slice of bread a day,
the country is throwing away daily
over 14,O00,O 900 ounces of flour
over $4,000 pounds, or enough flour
for over a million 1-pound loaves a
day. For a full year at this rate
there would be a waste of over &c.,
O0O,0 pounds of flour-1,500,0 900
barrels-enough -four to make $685.
O0O,0 loaves.
AS it takes A 1-2 bushels of wheat
to make a barrel of ordinary -four,
this waste would represent the flour
from over 100000 bushels of
wheat.
Fourteen and nine-tenths bushels
of wheat on the average are raised
per acre. 1t would take the fruit of
some 100000 acres just to provide a
single slice of bread to be wasted dali
ly in every home.
To produce this much flour calls
for an army of farmers, railway men,
-four mill people. To get the flour
to the consumer calls for many
freight cars and the use of many tons
of coal.
But some one says, a full slice of
bread is not wasted in every home.
Very well-make it a daily slice for
every A or every 10 or every 80
homes-make it a weekly or monthly
slice in every home-or make the
wasted slice thinner. The waste of
flour involved is still appalling-al-
together too great to be tolerated
when wheat is scarce.
Any waste of bread is inexcusa-
BILE when there are so many ways of
using stale bread to cook delicious
dishes.

STUFF!
LIFT OUT YOUR CORNS
Apply a few drops then lift corns or
calluses off with fingers-
no pain.

No bumbug! Any corn. whether hard,
soft or between the toes, will loosen
right up and lift out, without a particle
of pain or soreness.
This drug il called freezone and IS a
compound of ether discovered by a Gin,
cinnati man.
Ask at any drug store for a small
bottle of freezone, which will cost but
a trihe, but is sufficient to rid ones
feet of every corn or callus.
Put a few drops directly upon any
tender, aching corn or callus. Instantly
the soreness disappears and shortly the
corn or callus will loosen and can be
lifted off with the fingers.
This drug f~reezone doesn't eat out
the corn or calluses but shrivels them
without even irritating the surround
ing skin.
Just think! mo pain at all; no sore
ness or smarting when applying it or
afterwards. If your druggist don't have
~freezone have him order it for you. 8
