Publishing the Flag.

Iowa newspapers are protesting
against a reported ruling by the at
torney generals office that the state
flag law prohibits the carrying of an
American flag at the head OF news
papers editorial columns. A lew
newspapers have hauled down the
flag in evident belief that it would
be illegal to continue it at the edl,
torial masthead. Both protests and
omissions seem to be based on a
false alarm. There was a rumor that
the attorney general had ruled
against the editorial flag, but later
report was that the ruling only ap-
piled to use OF the flag in connection
with printed matter as an advertis-
ing device, which is forbidden in
virtually all state flag laws.
The original story was that the
newspaper flag was barred under the
section of the flag law providing for
the punishment OF ANY person who
shall expose to public view, manu-
facture, sell, expose for sale, to give
away or for use for any purpose, any
article Of merchandise, or a recep-
tacle of merchandise or article or
thing for carrying or transporting
merchandise, upon which shall nave
been printed, painted, attached or
otherwise placed, representation OF
any such flag, standard, color or en-
sign, to advertise, call attention TO,
decorate, mark or distinguish the
article or substance SO placed. -

Ice Took Davis City Mill Dam Will

On last Friday the ice in the river
went out and with it also went about
20 feet Of the Frazier Bros. mill
dam
The ice gorged above the dam and
there was not water enough to carry
the ice over and it crushed the dam
down and after that it was short
work for the ice and water to tear
out about half the dam. =,
The going out of the dam is to be
regretted by all as the pleasures Of
boating and fishing will be Of little
good until the dam is rebuilt.
Frazier Bros, will run the mill just
as they are now running it by steam
power. They don't know whether
they will repair the dam or not and
if they do the work will not begin
until late in August.

UGH! CALOMEL MAKES
YOU DEATHLY SICK
Str0p Using Dangerous Drug Before
It Salivates You! It's
Horrible!

You're bilious, sluggish, constipated
and believe you need vile, dangerous
calomel to start your liver and clean
your bowels.
Here's my guarantee! Ask your
druggist for a 50-cent bottle of Dod-
sons Liver Tone and take a spoon
full tonight. If it does not start your
liver and straighten you right up bet
ter 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 a days work. Take
a spoonful Of harmless, vegetable
Dodson's Liver Tone tonight and wake
up feeling great. It'sNperfectly harm
less, so give it to your children any
time. It can't salivate, so let them
eat anything afterwards. IL
