CALONEL. SALIvATES
and MAKES YOU SICK
Acts like dynamite on a sluggish
liver and you lose
days work.

There's no reason why person should
take sickening, salivating calomel when
a few cents buys a large bottle of bod
sons Liver Tone-a perfect 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 folks can take
Dodson's Liver Tone, because it is per-
fectly harmless.
Calomel is dangerous drug. 1t 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
gisllness, headache, coated tongue or sour
stomach Your druggist says if you
don't find Dodson's Liver Tone acts bet
ter than horrible calomel your money is
waiting for you.

Reasons for Classification.

~AS@~~AAH~S~NN~-~"
Under part 4, which deals with
classification rules and principles,
there are clearly laid down the vari-
GUS rules which will govern district
and local boards in the classification
of registrants, while the reasons for
and effect of classification are celear-
ly set out as follows:
"The military needs of the nation
require that there be provided In ev-
cry community a list of names of
men who shall be ready to be called
into service at any time. The eco
nomic needs of the nation, while de-
ferring to the paramount military
necessity, require that men whose
removal would interfere with the
civic, family, industrial and agricul-
tural institutions of the nation shall
be taken in the order in which they
best can be spared. For this reason
the names of all men liable for Sc
lection shall be arranged in five clas-
SEES in the inverse order of their i'm
portance to the economic interests
of the nation, which include themain-
tenance of necessary industry and
agriculture and the support of de-
pendents.
"The group of registrants within
the jurisdiction of each local board
is taken as the unit to be classified.
Within each class the order of la
bility is determined by the drawing,
which has hitherto assigned to every
man an order of availability for mil
itary service relative to men not per-
manently or temporarily exempted
or discharged. The effect of CLASH
fication in class l is to render every
man so classified presently liable to
military service in the order deter

Three Years Old Nov. Is.

The Martin, Tenn, Real Estate
Exchange was three years old Nov.
Is. We came here because we be-
lieved Martin was a good town and
because the country around it was
good. We were correct in our judg-
ment and the proof is that we have
sold over 100000 worth of property
in the three years we have been here.
And we still have big lot of fine
property listed from which rich bar
gains may be selected. Our bust
ness has grown so much that we
have added another good man to our
firm-Geo. E. Brann, of Palmers-
vile. Mr.. Brann will locate near
Martin in a short time, but has al
ready begun work with US.

System of Distribution.

Under the new regulations the 20
cal boards will send out S per cent
of their questionairres each day for
a period covering 20 days. This
method of distribution will allow the
local boards, with the aid Of their le-
gal advisory boards and all other vol
unteers, to instruct, complete and
file each days questiona'rre without
the confusion and congestion watch
would attend the effort 10 require
larger number.
The completion of the question
airre by the registrant will not re-
quire as much work as did the sim
pie claim for dependency under the
old system. In it the registrant
must make a full statement of all the
facts upon which he will rely to Sc
cure deferred classification and upon
which the local board will be expect
ed to fix his class.

mined by the national drawing. The
effect of classification in class 2 is
to grant temporary discharge from
draft, effective until class l in the
jurisdiction of the same local board
is exhausted. The effect of CLASH.
fication in class is to grant tenn
porary discharge from draft, effec-
tive until classes 1 and in the juris-
diction of the same local board, are
exhausted, and, similarly, class A be-
comes liable only when classes l, 2
and are exhausted. The effect of
classification in class is to grant
exemption or discharge from draft.
The term deferred classification as
used in these regulations, is equivo-
lent to the term temporary dis
charge"

Repeal All Preceding Regulations.

The new regulations not only re-
peal all preceding regulations" but
cancel all exemptions and discharges
which have been granted by local
boards under the present system
This will restore every man to his
original status, and the local boards
will send a QUESTIONABLE to every
man who is not in the service.
The completion by the registrant
of this document is the first great
stage of the new system, and the diff
ficulties which will attend it are full
ly recognized by the provost marshal
general, who has begun the mobili-
cation of the legal talent of the coun-
try to enable everyone who seeks it
to receive aid in the preparation Of
his questionairre.

TO CONSTIPATED CHILD
Delicious "Fruit Laxative" can't harm
tender little Stomach, Liver
and Bowels.

Look at the tongue, mother! If
coated, your little ones stomach, liver

sleep, eat or act naturally, or is fever
ish, stomach sour, breath bad; has sore
throat, diarrhea, full of cold, give a
teaspoonful of California Syrup of
Figs" and in a few hours all the foul,
constipated waste, undigested food and
sour bile gently moves out of its little
bowels without gripping, and you have a
well, playful child again. Ask your
druggist for a bottle of California
Syrup of Figs" which contains full
directions for babies, children of all ages
and for grown-ups.
