cALoMEL DYNAMITEs -
A sLueGfsH LIVER
Crashes Into Sour Bile, Making You
Sick and You Lose Days Work.

Calomel Salivatesl is mercury.
s,alomel acts like dynamite on a slug
gish liver. When calonel comes into
contact with sour bile itscras q into it,
causing cramping and naus sa.
If you feel bilious, headachy, consti-
pated and all knocked out, just go to
your druggist and get a bottle Of bod
sons Liver Tone for few cents which
IS a harmless vegetable substitute fol-
dangerous calomel. Take spoonful and
i it doesn't start your liver and
straighten you up better and quicker
than nasty calomel and without making
you sick, you just go back and get your
money.
If You take calonel today you'll be
sick and nGuseated tomorrow; besides
it may salivate YOU, while il you take
Dcdson' s Liver Tone ysu will wake u!
feeling great, full of ambition and ready
for work or play. It's harmless, pleas
ant and safe ogive to children; they
like it.-Adv.

Chicago, Feb. 26.-Renewal OF

turn today to the grain markets.
Corn was bcarishly affected also by
fine weather and by liberal receipts.
On the decline, however, coumis-
sion house buying increased and
something OF a reaction ensued.
Opening quotations, which 'angcd
from l-8 to IA cent lower, with
March not quoted, and May $l26
5-8Ml.26 3-4, were followed by Il
slight rally.
Oats showed more decided weak
ness than corn, but also reacted
more decidedly. Reports that oats
were in active demand dt Mime
apolis to 90 west had much to do
with rallying the market from the
initial Depression After opening
is to SIS cent lower, with May
81 ID to 81 rs, prices underwent
a further sag and then ascendcd to
above yesterdays finish.
Provisions advanced, owing to
scantiness of offerings. Declines
