The Time to Buy Land.
(Abbeville Press and Banner

(Abbeville Press and Banner.)
Land is cheaper to-day than it will
be again. Because Of the war and
unsettled conditions along with the
scarcity OF labor, people are slow to
purchase, though there Is evidence Of
increasing activity in real estate
circles.
There is more money in the coun-
try now than at any time within the
past SO years. People are able to
purchase lands to-day when they
have never been before. A man who
has rented lands all these years may
to-day buy and make sufficient pay
ment to- get start towards owning
a home. p"
Because Of the two fcats stated,
every man who is renting should
launch q campaign to own his own
home. With the constantly increas-
ing prices Of lands, rent sooner or
later must be advanced, and the rem
ter will find 1t harder to get along.
To-day opportunity offers! To-
morrow 1t may not!

1t is a pleasant, vegetable LIQUID
which will start your liver Just as

make you sick and cannot salivate.
Children and grown folks can take
Dodson's Liver Tone, because it is
perfectly harmless.
Cal0mel Is dangerous drug. IT
Is mercury and attacks your bones.
Take dose Of nasty calomel to-day
and you will feel weak, sick and nau-
seated tomorrow. Don't lose days
work. Take a spoonful Of Dodson's 8
Liver Tone instead and you will wake
up feeling great. No more bilious
ness, constipation, sluggishness,
headache, coated tongue or sour sto-
mach. Your druggist says If you
don't find Dodson's Liver Tone acts
better than horrible calomel your
money Is waiting for yon.--Adv.
