CALOMEL DYNAM|TES
A SLUGGISH LIVER
Crashes into sour bile, rlaking
you sick and you lose
q days work.

Calomel salivates. It's mercury
Calomel acts like dynamite on e
sluggish liver. When calomel 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 60
to your druggist and get so 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 go 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.
1t is harmless, pleasant and safe to
give to children; they like it.

Opposition to Dipping Cattle.

We are surprised to see IN the
proceedings of the police jury,
published in this issue, that petit
lions were presented to that body
from wards two and three, ask
ing that they build no watts to dip
cactle in those wards. The police
Jury is required by the State law,
and in conformity with Federal
sanitary requirements, to build
these watts, and we hope to hear
no more of opposition in the mat
ter.
Five or six watts will be built in
each ward so as to be convenient
to all the people. The police jury
will build the watts at the cost of
the parish. and will also have
them kept filed with dipping So
luton without cost to the people.
All that citizens will be required
to do will be to drive their cattle
to the nearest vat to them and
see that they go through the dip
at stated seasons.
Thousands of persons testify
that the dipping of cattle adds
from 80 to so per cent to the
weight of their animals. Alst
milk cows freed from blood
sucking ticks are increased in
like proportion in the giving o.
milk.
The average man is in a per
feet frenzy to get a single ticl
out of his precious hide, and it i
perfectly astonishing that an.
one should oppose relieving tn
poor dumb cattle of the thOus
ands of ticks that live on thei
life blood, and keeps them in
burning fever all the time. |

among ticks they could not liv

among ticks have to be kept fire.

fES! LIFT A CORN
OFF WITHOUT PAIN!
Cincinnati authority tells how to dry
up a corn or callus so It lifts
off with fingers.

You corn-pestered men and women
need suffer no longer Wear the shoes
that nearly killed you before, says this
Cincinnati authority, because a few
drops of freezone applied directly on a
tender, aching corn or callus, stops sore
ness at once and soon the corn or
hardened callus looscns so it can be
lifted out, root and all, without pain.
A small bottle of freezone cost very
little at any drug store, but will posi-
lively take off every hard or soft
corn or callus. This should be tried,
as it is inexpensive and is said not to
irritate the surrounding skin.
II your druggist hasn't any freezone
tell him to get small bottle for you
from his Wholesale drug house. 1t is
fine stuff and acts like a charm every
time.
