gish liver. When calomel comes into
contact with sour bile it crashes into
it, causing cramping and nausea.
If you feel bilious, headachy, con-
stipated and all knocked out, just go
to your druggist and get bottle of
Dodson's Liver Tone for few cents
which is a harmless vegetable substi-
tute for dangerous calomel. Take a
spoonful and if it doesn't start your
liver and straighten you up better and
quicker than nasty calomel and with
out making you sick, you just 60 back
and get your money.
If you take calomel today you'll be
sick and nauseated tomorrow; besides,
it may salivate you, while if you take
Dodson's Liver Tone you will wake up

ready for work or play. It's harmless
pleasant and safe to give to children;
they like it.

STORIES WRITTEN BY WIDE

Types of Aercpianes Now Used.
 The types of ;tsroplanes now in use are the scouting machines, the bomb ing planes, the artillery planes. and the battle planes.
 The scouting machines are light and capable of long flights. They carry quantities of gasoline, special cameras for photographing the enemy, wire less set for making reports and ma chine guns for attack and defense The spread of the biplane is forty three feet and the motors have from eighty to one hundred and fifty horse power.
 The bombing planes are powerful and heavy and travel slowly. They usually fly at night; and Nare accom- panied by smaller and swifter ma chimes which protect them The mo- tors produce two hundred horse pow er The bombing planes carry many
 One interesting fact about the bombing plane is that it can't land until all the bombs are gone; other wise the shock would explode the re- paining bombs and, destroy the ma-
 The artillery planes fly over the en- emy and watch where the shells. which comes from the aviator's ovr army strike. These planes must be light and stable so the fiier can hover over any place he wishes to watch. The wings have spread of thirty feet and the engines are of powerful rotary type.
 The battle planes are light and must be able to. climb quickly for in bat tie the safest place is up high.

Two Jolly Pals.

One day last week while rounding the corner Of Main street, I narrowly escaped collision with a panting boy and his sled which he was drawing be hind at head-long gait. By his side ran, with long leaps, and bounds. 2 medium sized dog, wife was evidently determined that the flying figure ahead should not lose him. They rap idly passed me and were soon lost by 3 turn in the road.
 I passed on, for I had to make few purchases in a neighboring department store, and so could not delay.
 Upon returning to the hill which led to my home the first object of my eye sight was the very lad wi,o had been the &ssocent cause of a narrowly avert ed aecfdent just a short while ago came coasting at rather swift pace down the steep hill on his sled.

From City to Earn,

When I lived in New York, and I still remember those days, as they are not far away, I would play all games that children play and sing all songs that didn't mean wrong
 l thought I was happy, but now to my surprise change on the farm makes all the difference to one.
 Here l have a pet lamb called Mary. and a pet puppy called Prince Well, Mary and Prince didn't quit agree. So have reason to believe that when they grow up they will turn a differen. way. Now Mary runs strait from the barn to the house, and Prince, being jealous of the poor little lamb gives a bark at her to scare her away. Bup little Mary being used to him, gives him a kick, meaning. "get our of my way, you horrible thing"
 This is enough to make any one willing to stay on a farm and be happy every day.
