FOR FRED FULTON

Fulton added fresh glory to his
glittering laurels with foolish ease
last night at Madison Square Gar

the New Jersey heavy, in less than

Fulton chopped his lighter oppo-

PAUL Dahl, manager of the South
Tacoma Crescents baseball
team, says that he will ask for
franchise in the City-Valley
league this season. He will
probably be given a franchise,
as his club is composed of a
sweet bunch of diamond ex-
perts. Now that the South Ia
coma Tigers have disbanded, he
will be able to get some nifty
men from this club also. There
are lot of good players in the
south end of the city and it is
reported that Dahl has his pick
of them. They also have
good ball grounds at South Ia
coma so that the boys will not
be handicapped for a place to
practice.

cALOMEL DYNAMITES <
A SLUGGISH LIVER

Calomel salivates! It's mercury.
Calomel acts like dynamite on slug
gish liver. When calohnel comes into
contact with sour bile it crashes into
it, causing cramping and nausea.
If you feel bilious, headachy, con-
stipated, and all knocked out, just go
to your druggist and get a 80 cent
bottle Of Dodson's Liver Tone, which
is harmless vegetable substitute for
dangerous calomel. Take spoonful
and if it doesn't start your liver and
straighten you up better and quicker
than nasty calomel and without max
ing you sick, you just 60 back and
|get your money.
If you take calomel today you'll be
sick and nauseated tomorrow; be-
sides, it may salivate you, while If
you take Dodson's Liver Tone you
will wake up feeling great full OF
ambition and ready for work or play.

give to children; they like it-Adv..
