Take a spoonful of Dodson's Liver Tone instead and you will wake up feeling great No more biliousness, constipation, slug gishness. headache, coated tongue or sour stomach. Your druggist says if you don't find Dodson's Liver Tone acts better than horrible calomel your money is waiting for you.-Adv

 Unlike Jan.<1 Rosh Hashanah has been fully able to resist secularization. It is in form and spirit holy day. dis tinctively-not holiday. Solemn services characterize it's observance both evening and morning. It is q time dedicated to retrospection, intro- spection and resolutions for the flu. ture. The day bears the special des- tgnation of Tom haDin or a Day of Judgment. With quaint mysticism the old tradition represents the souls of men as being on this day before .he divine tribunal at the annual assizes on high. The great Recording Books lie open and the individual destinies are set down, but (and this is the sig nificant element in the conception) the award in each given case must be sealed by the person himself; mean ing thereby that, though the varying issues of the New Year proceed from Gods providence, no ones future is determined apart from what he him. self is and does.
