CAUTION! CAREFULLY READ LABEL
ON ALL PATENT MEDICINES
American Medical Association Condemns
Dangerous Drug of No Medicinal Value
Kidneys, Nerves and Brain
| Patent Medicines Containing Alcohol
to Be So Labelled.
Law Requires All

Read carefully all patent medicine
labels to see if they contain alcohol.
The law requires that all medicines
containing alcohol must be so labelled
for the protection of the public, thus
CHASING alcohol as other dangerous,
harmful and habit-forming drugs.
The American Medical Association
composed of the foremost men in the
medical profession, came out with the
statement in their recent meeting
that alcoho is of no value in medi-
cine, either as a drug or a stimulant.
A recent investigation conducted in
the Bellevue Hospital, New York, dis
closed the fact that of $50 alcoholic
patients examined 6S per cent, more
than half began to drink before 21
years of age. AS result physicians
all over the country refuse to pre-
scribe alcohol under any condition.
AS has been shown many acquire
the alcohol habit before attaining ma

turity. There are many ways in which
this habit had been acquired, but per-
hapshaps the commonest form has
been through the medium of patent
medicine containing a great percent
age of this deadly poison. Beef, wine,
and iron, for instance. is usually given
to those convalescing from severe
illness. This is a favorite prepara-
ton given to children and has prob
ably done more to develop the alcohol
habit than the average person imag-
ines.
Iron, of course, is the greatest blood
purifier and strengthener known; on
the other hand, alcohol is perhaps the
deadliest poison to the tissue of the
human system. 1t counteracts the eff
ficiency of the iron and makes the
condition worse. A sick person would
be far better off if given just plain
beef. The reason for the fallacy that
beef, wine, and iron, is efficient is
that the alcohol it contains imparts a

EVER SALIVATED BY
CALOMEL? HORRIBLE!
CalOmel is Quicksilver and Acts Like
Dynamite on Your Liver.

Calomel loses you a day! You
know what calomel is. It's mercury;
quicksilver. Calomel is dangerous.
1t crashes into sour bile like dyna-
mite, cramping and sickening you.
Calomel attacks the bones and should
never be put into your system.
When you feel bilious, sluggish,
constipated and all knocked out and
believe you need dose of dangerous
calomel just remember that your
druggist sells for SO cents a large
bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone, which
is entirely vegetable and pleasan..-to
take and is perfect substitute for
calomel. 1t is guaranteed to start
your liver without stirring you up in
side, and can not .salivate.
Don't take calomel! 1t makes YOU
sick the next day; it loses you days
work. Dodson's Liver Tone straight
ems you right up and you feel great.
Give it to the children because it is
perfectly harmless and doesn't gripe.

=. Qgsh6,1 This kind of rough

people troubled with corns will follow
the simple advice of this Cincinnati
authority, who claims that few drops
of drug called freezone when applied
to a tender, aching corn or hardened
callus stops soreness at once, and soon
the corn or callus dries up and lifts
right off without pain.
He says freezone. dries Immediately
and never inflames or even irritates
the surrounding skin. A small bottle
of freezone will cost very little at any
drug store, but will positively remove
every hard or soft corn or callus from
ones feet. Millions of American wo-
men will welcome this announcement
since the inauguration of the high
heels. If your druggist doesn't have
freezone tell him to order a small bot

Union County Not in

Washington, July 2O.-An epochal
thing took placl here in Washington
today-a thing unprecedented in his
tory.
1t was Americas draft day. 1t
saw her fling her answer 20 the scorn-
full charge Of autocracy that she is a
nation of dollar-makers, but not war
makers.
Ten million citizens gave her an
Swer. Every man in the nation be-
tween the ages of 2l and 81 was list
ed in order for war service.
1t was day that saw history made
and the way prepared for the max
ing of more history. Chronicle and
tradition record no time of practically
an entire nation going under arms
A long, high-ceilinged room, 226
senate office building, saw the event
which looms as the outstanding feat
ure of the world war. A little group
of men, khaki-colored and in mufti,
soldiers and civilians, were the char
acters on the stage.
From 9:30 in the morning unit, ii
new day was breaking the wheel Gs
chance unwound the fate of men.
Ten thousand five hundred capsules,
each containing a number, determined
when each of the 100000 men wou,l

LEMONS MAKE SKIN
WHITE, SOFT, CLEAR
Make This Beauty Lotion for a Few
Cents and See for Yourself.

What girl or woman hasn't heard of
lemon juice to remove complexion
blemishes; to whiten the skin and to
bring out the roses, the freshness and
the hidden beauty? But lemon juice
alone is acid, therefore irritating, and
should be mixed with orchard white
this way. Strain through fine cloth
the juice of two fresh lemons into
bottle containing about three ounces
of orchard white, then shake we'll and
you have whole quarter pint of skin
and complexion lotion at about the
cost one usually pays for small jar
of ordinary cold cream. Be sure to
strain the lemon juice so no pulp gets
gets into the bottle, then this lotion
will remain pure and fresh for months.
When applied daily to the face, neck,
arms and hands it should help to
bleach, clear, smoother and beautify
the skin.
Any druggist will supply three
ounces of orchard white at very little
cost and the grocer has the lemons.

feeling of stimulation and quickens
the heart action, temporary condi-
ton lasting as long as the alcohol af-
fects the senses. That is why one
must use such preparations continu-
ously, so that the artificial stimula-
ton may be kept up. The result of
ten brings on case Of alcoholism.
1t would be more beneficial in such
cases to use natural iron prepara-
tion free from the dangers of alcohol
or other habit-forming drugs. For
those who may be weak, anaemic, run
down, or suffering from stomach, kid
ney or bladder trouble, or poor i'm
povershed blood, an iron tonic of
known purity is exceptional.

it held the fate of almost 5000 men.
Prospects were that the draft would
not be concluded before $3.50 a. m.
Weary and with dull eyes, but de-
termined, the little group of men in
charge of the vast drawing stuck to
their posts through the long hours of
the night.
Just after 1880 they were entering
upon the eight thousandth group of
numbers. They had $500 yet to draw.
Major Hugh Johnson, executive Of
ficer to Provost Marshal General
Enoch Crowder, the man in charge,
estimated that the work would not be
completed before $3.50.
Up to 1880 p. m. there had n :
been an error of any kind. Every one
of the four tall sheets on which the
numbers were recorded as drawn
agreed. and already printed proofs of
the earlier tally sheets have been re-
ceived from the government printing
office
The entire first quota of 1874. 900
men had been drawn before nightfall.
The others merely went on the lists in
case of their liability to service.
Long Wait.
Men holding the numbers now being
drawn may not be ordered up for
more than Is months, if at all.
