There's no reason why a person
should take sickening, salivating cal
omel when so cents buys large bot
tie of Dodson's Liver Tone-a per-
feet substitute for calomel.
1t is a 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 felix's can take
Dodson's Liver Tone, because it is
perfectly harmless.
Calomel is a dangerous drug. 1t
is mercury and attacks your bones.
Take a dose of nasty calomel today
and you will feel weak, sick and
nauseated tomorrow. Don't lose a

Dodson's Liver Tone instead and
you will wake up feeling great. No
more biliousness, constipation, slug

You corn-pestered men and women

Women have tried since the begin

mobile service. The Club Feminin
Automobile was the center of this
group, and it had secured the sigma
lures of several hundred of the thou
sand women in Paris who hold licenses
to drive motor cars. The passive re-
sistance of the different war bureaus
held them pack until now.
The women are obliged to enlist for
three months and to agree to submit
scrupulously to military rules and dis
,ipline. They will in the beginning
ceplace motor ambulance drivers in the
foreign sanitary sections who are
transferred to other services. Later
IN they may replace men in other au-

He says that a few drops of a drug

corn, root and all, lifts right out.
This drug dries at once and simply

A small bottle of freezone obtained
at any drug store will cost very little
but will positively remove every hard

If your druggist hasn't stocked this

P0RP0lSE FISHERY is OLD
One of Least Known Industries Has
Been in Existence at Cape Hat
teras for 200 Years.

One of the oldest and least-known
fishery which has been operated from
Cape Hatteras in North Carolina for
about 200 years. 1t should attain an
unusual prosperity in the next few
years, for the bureau of fisheries is
urging more general use Of porpolse
hides In place Of cowhides. 1t is an
excellent leather, and could undoubt-
edly be used more widely.
Heretofore the most valuable prod
uct of the fishery has been the oil
which is extracted from the jaws of
the porpoise, and is worth about $40
a gallon. 1t is universally used for
lubricating watches and other very del
icate mechanisms. The body blubber
is also valuable. Attempts to manu-
facture fertilizer out of the carcass
have failed because of the distance
from fuel supply.
The porpoise are taken at Hatteras
in seines operated from the shore, and
it is probably the only place in Amer
lea where this has ever been done
successfully. During the fall, winter
and spring many porpoises are seen
off the South Atlantic coast, and at
Hatteras they come within few hun
dred yards of the surf. They are
taken by spreading seines about 200
yards outside the surf lines. AS soon
as the porpoises have come inside the
seines, they are dragged ashore. Often
a whole school of these sea creatures
is taken in single haul.
