Alexandria Forced to Go Dry.

Gen. Leonard Wood having made 1t
plain to the people of Alexandria that
the army cantonment will only go to
"a dry community where the moral at
mosphere is clean and wholesome. -
Mayor w. w. Wilmington and the au-
thorities of that city have given the as
sirance that Alexandra will meet the
requirements demanded.
In view of the fact that the whisky
element had Alexandria by the throat
and forced whisky on that community
when it had been fairly voted out only
a few months ago, this is most re-
freshing spectacle, and it is gloried in
by the prohibition forces.
We hope Alexandria will get the
camp, and that the decent christian
people of that city will get rid of the
dictation of the whisky men.

CALOMEL SAL|vATES
AND MAKES YOU SICK
Acts like dynamite on a sluggish
liver and you lose q
days work.

There's no reason why a person
should take sickening, salivating cal
omel when so cents buys large bot
tie of Dodson's Liver Tone-a per-
feet substitute for calomel.
1t is a pleasant, vegetable liquid
which will start your liver Just as
surely as calomel, but it doesn't
make you sick and can not salivate.
Children and grown folks can take
Dodson's Liver Tone, because it is
perfectly harmless.
Calomel is a dangerous drug. It
is mercury and attacks your bones.
Take dose of nasty calomel TODAY
and you will feel weak, sick and
nauseated tomorrow. Don't lose a
days work. 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.

Bed Irish Potatoes for Fall Planting.

Bed Irish Potatoes for Fall Planting.
]. C. H. Mckinney. writing to
the RusIon Leader, says:
Would suggest to all who
contemplate raising second crop
of Irish potatoes that they pre-
pare their seed for sprouting at
once. Instead of the uncertain
plan of covering with straw to
be kept damp. simply dig out a
place 8 or 10 inches deep and
place a layer on the bottom, so
the potatoes will touch each
other and replace the dirt. Gov
err the potatoes with a or 5 inches
of earth. Examine in August
and as fast as they sprout plant
in well prepared ground, cutting
into as many pieces as there are
sprouts. Can be planted as late
as September with safety"

Custer Suit to Remove School Super
intendent of Vim.

Winfield, La, July 5.-District At
torney julius T.-Long to-day filed suit
to exclude Jesse J. Nixon from the Of
fee of superintendent of public schools
of VIM parish and to seat Leonard
Allen therein. Among the various al
legations it is asserted that in sub
stance Article 203 of our constitution
provides that I'm all elections by per-
sons in a representative capacity, the
vote shall be viva voice." That Nixon
claims right to office through secret
ballot where the result declared by two
outside persons as commissioners was
erroneous; that Allen was elected on
the following day by viva voce"
vote. The suit promises to be a very
interesting one, as both parties have
many strong friends who are much in
terested in the result.

WONDERFUL STUFF!
LIFT OUT YOUR C0RNS
Apply few drops then lift corns or
calIuses Oft with finger3-
no pain.

No humbugl Any corn, whether hard,
soft or between the toes, will loosen
right up and lift out, without particle
of pain or soreness.
This drug is called freezonc and is a
compound of ether discovered by Gin
cinnati man.
Ask at any drug store for small
bottle of freezone, which will cost but
a trifle, but is sufficient to rid ones
feet Of every corn or callus.
Put a few drops directly upon any
tender, aching corn or callus. Instantly
the soreness disappears and shortly the
corn or callus will loosen and can be
lifted off with the fingers.
This drug freezone doesn't eat out the
corns or calluses but shrivels them with
out even irritating the surrounding skin.
Just think! No pain at all; no sore
ness or smartipg when applying it or
afterwards. If your druggist don't have
freezone have him order it for you.
