Calomel il Quicksilver and Acts Like
Dynamite on Your Liver.
Calomel loses you a day! You
know what caIomel is. It's mer-
curry; quicksilver. Calomel is
dangerous. It crashes into sour
bile like dynamite, cramping and
sickening you. Calomel attacks
the bones and should never be
put into your system.
When you feel bilious, slug
gish, constigated and all knocked
out and believe you need a dose
of dangerous calomel just re-
member that your druggist sells
for SO cents q large bottle Of
Dodson's Liver Tone, which is
entirely vegetable and pleasant
to take and is a perfect substi-
tute for calomel. It is guaran-
teed to start your liver without
stirring you up inside. and can.
not salivate.
Don't take calomel! It makes
you sick the next day; it loses
you a days work. Dodson's
Liver Tone straiRhtens you right
up and you feel great. Give it
to the children because it is per-
fectly harmless and doesn't
grippe. /

TO POSTPONE DATE.
OF DIVORCE LAW

When the senate takes up con-
sideraliOn of the Moody twelve
months residence divorce law,
as passed by the house of repre-
sentatives, an amendment will be
proposed to it with the object Of
exempting those now in Idaho for
the purpose of establishing legal
residence. AS the bill now stands
it carries an emergency clause
and upon going into operation
shortly after the adjournment of
the legislature fails to protect
the residence already established
by Divorces.
The bill has caused genuine
CONSERVATION among those who
have come to Idaho for a sever
ance of the bonds of matrimony
in the shortest possible time.

sPoRTSMEN OBJECT
TO PENDING BILL

Sportsmen of the state are tax
ing violent exceptions to the bill
pending before the legislature
which would prohibit the use Of
the pump or repeating gun by
hunters when hunting birds. The
object of the bill is to cut down
slaughter of the members of the
winged tribe. The pump and au-
tomato guns are charged with
the responsibility of cutting
down the bird supply so rapidly.
Complaints from sportsmen
from all parts of the state are be
ginning to reach members of the
legislature. The latest protest
is from the Occur d'Alene and
Kellogg Gun clubs, the members
of which believe the bill should
be defeated. 1t is cOntended by
them that the measure would
practically force the abandon
ment of trap shooting in this
state if it becomes a law.
