Ugh! A Dose of
Nasty CalOmel
1t salivates! 1t makes yOu*sick
and you may lose a

You're bilious, sluggish, constpated
and believe you need vile, dangerous
calomel to start your liver and clean
your bowels.
Here's my guarantee! Ask your
druggist for SO cent bottle of bod
sons Liver Tone and take spoonful
tonight. If it doesn't start your liver
and straighten you right up better
than calomel and without gripping or
making you sick want you to go back
to the store and get your money.
Take calomel today and tomorrow
you will feel weak and sick and nau-
seated. Don't lose day work.
Take a spoonful Of harmless, vegetable
Dodson's Liver Tone tonight and
wake up feeling great. It's perfectly
harmless, so give it to your children
any time. 1t can't salivate, so let
hem eat anything afterwards. adv

Yes! Lift a Corn
off Without Pain!
Cincinnati authority tells how to
dry up 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
few drops Of freezone applied d.
recty on a aching tender corn or cal.
lus, stops soreness at once and soon
the corn or hardened callus loosens
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 caIlus. This should be tried. as it
is inexpensive and is said not to irri-
tate the surrounding skin.

The GEOLOGICAL Exhibit.

The State Geological Department,
presided over by DR.. E. N. Lowe, will
be represented by a comprehensive
display of geological specimens. Our
people have been taught that Missis-
sippi was not rich in minerals. but it
Is possib that we have been mistaken
to a greater or less degree. Recent
developments have tended to dispel
this fusion.
A specially designed room of ample
propositions will be provided for the
geological exhibit, and DR.. Lowe is
already at work collecting and arrang-
ing an excellent showing of our wea tn
in that particular line. 1t will be an
eyeopener to our own people as well
as the visitors who will come in great
crowds during the Exposition.
The space occupied and designed for
the Geological Department will be
filled with a disp ay of permanent
nature and it will be there for inspec-
ton by every one who visits EXPOSE
ton Park, either during the Exposi.
ton or for years afterward. The Com
mission was gratified at the chance to
provide quarters for so important q
branch of state government.
There is no reason why state do.
partment or state institution Of any
character should not make a most
creditable showing at the Exposition.
In some instances funds may be some

serving official will always find way

There is not county or community
in the state of Mississippi that cannot
share in the benefits to be derived
from the Exposition If they will only
make the effort. The investment will
be nominal and the profits sufficient
to warrant the greatest effort. The
county too poor to give 1t a trial will
a ways be too poor. Prosperity comes
