ING YOU SICK AND YOU LOSE

Calomel saliyates! It's mercury. Cal
omel acts like dynamite on y sluggish
liver. When calomel comes into con-
tact with sour bile it crashes into it.,
causing cramping and nausea.
If you feel bilious, headachy, cOnstf-
pated and all knocked out, just go to
your druggist and get 50-cent bottle
of Dodson'S Liver Tone, which is
harmless vegetable substitute for dan
gerous calomel. Take a 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 gel
your money.

recently learned of those who expect

so. claiming that to serve on such a
board would ruin one politically. We
do not see it that way. With those

could not be evaded. 1t has been an
nounced that those so chosen were
co,lScripted for that service the same
as those who had to report for the
physical examination. And so 1t
should have been, for any official too
busy to discharge these extra duties
imposed was free to employ help.
Surely the public will not be SO short
sighted as to attach blame to any
member of a local exemption board.
And the individual who would evade
his duty in this direction solely for
the reason that lie is in politics and
afraid for his job, would appear
rather a weakling.
