CALOMEL SAL|YATES
AND MAKES YOU SICK
Acts like dynamite on sluggish
liver and you lose a
days work.

There's no reason why a person should
take sickeping, saliyating calomel when
so cents buys large bottle of Dodson's
Liver Tone--a perfect substitute for cal
omel.
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 dangerous drug. Ii 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 a days work. Take
a spoonful OF DOdson's Liver Tone in
stead and you will wake up feeling great
No more biliousness. constipation, slug

REGISTRATION DISTINCT
FROM THE DRAFT.

The War Department makes
the following statement i'll the 1.
S. Official Bulletin:
From many letters received
daily the War Department learns
that registration and selective
draft are being COMPOUNDED. These
are separate and distinct proc es-
SEES. Registration is simply ithe
enrolling of all male residents Of
the United States between the
ages of u and 80, inclusive. Ev-
cry male resident between the des-
ignated ages must register on the
date set by the Presidents proc
lamation unless he is in the Reg
ular Army, the Navy, the Nation
al Guard, or Naval Militia, actual
" in the Federal service.
The enrolling is done in each
voting precinct by registrar APP
pointed for the purpose. The
duties of the registrar are manda-
tory and are performed under the
sanction of an oath. Nothing is
liable to heavy penalty, imprison-
ment with no alternative Of fine,
for making a false return or in
any way being a party to or con
niving at practices or favoritism
or evasion. A like penalty i'm
ponds over the individual who
fails to register.
The latter process of selection
will be made by lot from the
names entered on the registration
rolls. Full information as to ex-
emptions and methods of selection
will be published later. For the
present it is all important that the
primary duty Of registration be
impressed upon all who are sub
ject to it.
Interpreters. will be needed,
especially in the foreign sections
of our large cities, to assist in
answering questions on the regis
tration cards. Here is an oppor-
tunity for service by those who
speak other languages than Eng
lish. Schools and colleges, too,
will find in this a patriotic func-
ton. The War Department re-
quests that volunteers for this
work offer their services at once
to the sheriffs Of their respective
counties (parishes), or if they live
in cities Ct 10000 or over, to the
mayors.

OTHER COLD SEASONS.

marveling at the present cool

Der that on June 6, 1893, there
was a freeze, which killed all the
corn. most of which had been laid
- and the farmers were obliged
to cut down the frozen stalks AM
drag them out of out Of the field
in order TO be able to repIant
which they did and made far
crop. Again on May 10, 1867, a
freeze killed the corn and grass.
1t was bad crop year, followed
by a. very cold winter and was
known locally as cd anne d1'

bread. But that is nothing t.

GERMAN SUBSTITUTES FOR
I. RUBBER TIRES.

pSRabber being scarce in Ger
many nowadays. a number of BIZ
cycle tires made of substitutes
for rubber are reported to have
appeared on the German market,
says the June Popular Mechanics
Magazine. First came a tire made
& steel wire about 3-16 in. thick,
G kosely coiled, with ends welded
t{o9sSher. This was highpriced,
damaXed pavements, and ratified
in us3. Then came three differ
ent t,Fpes of wooden tires, the
cheapest being made of single
piece of wood, while others are
made Of wooden sections. Anoth-
err type Of wood tire has the outer
surface covered with a leather
strip. Steel springs are used
with all the wooden tires, either
in forks or between tire and rim,
which adds considerably to their
cost. Tires covered with leather
or with canvas, instead of rub
Der. are also on the market. But
the best substitute for the rubber
tire has an outer tube of prepared
canvas. and cloth-owund inner
tube filled with a solid prepara+
ton resembling rubber, that is
said to be quite elastic.

CAN FOOD AT HOME.

Vast amounts Of edible corn. to-
matoes, pickles. string beans,
pumpkins, apples, peaches, grapes,
and other fruits and vegetables,
are allowed to rot ON the ground
each year in this country. The
average family with a garden is
supplicd so bountifully during
the season that long before the
first killing frost comes waste be
gins. In the country and country
towns especially, there is little or
no profitable market for the over
production. This year rot a
pound of vegetable food capable
of being saved. by drying or can
ming or preserving. should he al
lowed to spoil. The boys can
render splendid service by care
of the garden and gathering the
produce, and the girls can do
their part in preparing and can
ming. The process Of cooking for
canning is not difficult to lea II.
nor too eXhausting to perform,
and this year we should put upon
our shelves for next winter s con
sumption millions upon millions
of quarts of canned food. This
will release an equal amount,
which otherwise would be taken
from the output Of the big can
neries, and which can 90 to feed
our own Army and Navy or be
shipped abroad to starving Flu
rope. No boy or girl need wait
until he or she is older in order to
do some great thing. If only
100000 families can an extra
100 jars each, the result will be
500, 5000 jars more than last
year, and that is anything but
small accomplishment. Don't let
a pound Of food 90 to waste this
year. Those Of us who are not
thrifty must learn to be
come so, and once the habit is
formed. the results are so sur
prising and satisfying it becomes
a pleasure.-Ex. -~'
