CALOMEL?HORRIBLE
Calomel is Quicksilver and Acts Like
Dynamite On
Your Liver

Calomel loses you day. You
know what calomel is. Calomel is
dangerous. It crashes into sour bile
like dynamite, cramping and sicken-
ing you. Calomel attacks bones and
should never be put into your system.
When you feel bilious, sluggish,
constipated and all knocked out and
believe you need dose of dangerous
calomel just remember that your drug
gist sells for a few cents large bot
tie of Dodson's Liver Tone, which is
entirely vegetable and pleasant to
take and is perfect substitute for
calomel. 1t is guaranteed to start
your liver without stirring you up
inside, and can not salivate.
Don't take calomel! 1t makes you
sick the next day; it loses you a days
work. Dodson's Liver Tone straight
ems you right up and you feel great.
Give it to the children because it is
perfectly harmless and doesn't grippe.

MUST USE LESS SUGAR;
ALLIED NEEDS GROW
Americans Asked to Use No More Than
Two Pounds Per Person
Per Month.
Shortage May Last Until Beginning of 1919,
When New Sugar Crop Arrives.

TIN sugar supplies throughout tho
country, In homes, stores, factories and
bakeries, are at low ebb; the produc-
ton from the American beet and
Louisiana cane crops have been d'sap-
pointing; the yield In Porto Rico has
likewise been smaller than antieipat-
ed, and the inability OF the United
States and the Allies to secure sugar
from Java and other distant sources
on account Of the Imperative call for
ships for the movement Of troops and
their supplies has materially reduced
the supply from such quarters. Added
to this already difficult situation, tho
quantity needed by the Army and
Navy greatly exceeds earlier esti-
mates; we must send large amount
to France and Italy to take the place
Of the great volume lost through the
German and Austrian Invaslons, dur
lna which much beet land was over
run and many factories destroyed; We
have to supply certain quantities to
neutral nations under agreements; and
finally over fifty million pounds were
lost recently through submarine sink
inqs off our Atlantic coast.
The Food Administration is conf
dent that the American people, with
the record of wheat savings behind it.
having by voluntary savings sent 140,.
100000 bushels of wheat to the Allies
after practically every bushel had been
exhausted from our normal surplus
will with the same spirit save the
sugar situation of the world.
Willmar tribune. [volume] (Willmar, Minn.) 1895-1931, 1918-08-14

After making a careful survey of the
world sugar situation the y. s., Food
Administration has asked the Ameri-
can public to USE NO MORE THAN
TWO POUNDS OF SUGAR PER PER-
SON A MONTH until January l, 1919.
Increased sugar demands from the.
Allied nations-where the present sug-
ar ration is already reduced to the
lowest possible level-and the need Of
keeping our army and navy supplied
are two Of the leading causes of the
curtailment of Americas sugar ration.
Americans are requested to make
two pounds Of sugar per person (half
a pound week. serve for all sugar
uses In the Notwithstanding cook
ing and all sugar served at the table.
Public eating places, as we'll as
housewives, will be required to limit
their use of sugar to two pounds for
every ninety meals served. In the
U. S. Food Administrations cafeteria
at Washington, where employees Of the
