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

Calomel loses you a 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 few cents large bot
tie of Dodson's Liver Tone, which is
entirely vegetable and pleasant to
take and is a perfect substitute for
calomel. 1t is guaranteed 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 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.

ALLIED FOOD SHIPMENTS
REACH LARGE TOTAL

A general idea Of the quantity Of
food sent to European allies by the
United States from July 1, 1914, to
January I, 1918, is given by figures
just announced by the U. S. Food Ad-
ministration. In that period the Unit
ed States has furnished complete year
ly rations for 57,100,933 people. In
addition there was enough extra pro-
tein to supply this portion of the diet
for %, ,194.570 additional men.
The total export of wheat and wheat
-four to the three principal allies is
equivalent to about 3S4,O000O0 bushels.
Pork exports for the 315 years amount
ed to almost 2,OOOO00,O00 pounds. Ex-
ports of fresh beef totaled 443, ,4SS4, 4SS4 400
pounds. The amount Of food exported
to Russia is negligible compared with
that sent to the western allies.

WE ALL SHOULD VOTE.


Every citizen of Lexington County
should go to the polls next Tuesday
and cast his. ballot for the candidate
OF his choice. The election is not
quite finished and there are still some
omces to be filled, and next Tuesday
will decide who they shall be. Since
the first primary we have heard a
number of men say they would not
vote in the second primary. Those
who follow such an idea will make a
grave mistake. It is your privilege
and your duty to vote, and every
man who has the welfare of his
State and nation at heart should ex-
ercse> this privilege according to the
dictates of his mind and conscience.

AFTER THE ELECTION.


Now that the election of 1918 has
practically passed, we should all for
get our differences and '1et the dead
past bury its dead, Sometimes the
best of personal friends differ in pol
itics. but they should not allow this
difference to interfere with their per-
sonal friendship; for no matter VINO
is elected this is still our home and
we all expect to live here. Every man
has, a right to vote for his choice and
no man should fall out with him Tor
It, especially is this true in State and
national politics. At times personal
tiles are wrongfully injected into coun
ty politics that cause ennity to exist
between opponents, but it is wrong
and should be avoided; for after all
we are neighbors. And now let US
say as our great leader, woodrow VIII
son, a. short while ago said, Politics
is adjourned. ;.
The one vital, oveshadowings issue
before the American people today is
that Of winning the war and winning
1t now. The consideration of all pro-
blems not directly or indirectly re-.
lated to the one great, all-absorbing
issue must and should be suspended
for the time being. The heart and anSd
soul Of every loyal American is today
inbued with but single. thought and
purpose and that is the speedy and
conclusive triumph Of democracy ov-
er autocracy, Of republicanism over
roilitarism, and every American wor-
thy of the. name should adopt as his
motto the motto of the immortal De-
catur: "Our country. In her inter-
course with foreign nations may she
always be in the right; but our coun-
try, right or wrong"
