HORRIBLE!
Calomel is Quicksilver and Acts Like
Dynamite ON Your Liver.

Calomel is Quicksilver and Acts Like
Dynamite on Your Liver.
Calomel loses you a day
You know what calomel is. It's
mercury, quicksilver. Gallo
mel is dangerous. It crashes
into sour bile like dynamite,
cramping and sickening you.
Calomel attacks the bones and
should never be put into your
system.
When you feel bilious slug
gish, constipated and all
knocked out and believe you
need a dose of dangerous calo-
mel just remember that your
druggist sells for a few cents a
large bottle of Dodson's Liver
Tone, which is entirely veget-
able and pleasant to take and
is a perfect substitute for cal
omel. It is guaranteed to
start your liver without stirring
you up inside, and cannot sal
ivate.
Don't take calomel! It
makes you sick the next day;
it loses you q days work. Dod-
sons Liver Tone straightens
you right up and you feel
great. Give it to your chill
dren because it is perfectly
harmless and doesn't grippe. |

Secretary of Agriculture Urges Con
s~truction of Roads of Military
Value,

Secretary Houston, of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, has set forth
the policy which he thinks should be
followed in highway construction
during the war:
$50 far as it is practicable to do
so, this department will urge the
maintenance of the highways already
constructed; the construction and
completion of those highways which
are vitality important because of their
bearing upon the war situation or
for the movement of commodities
the postponement of all highway con-
struction relatively less essential or
not based upon important military or
economic needs. The department is
preparing to suggest to the State
highway departments the preparation
of a schedule of work for the Federal
aid projects for 1918 in line with
this policy"
Road construction and main
nance in the United States involve an
annual expenditure of about $780,
0OO, 1000.

Laborers from Porto Rico and Vir-
gin Islands for Farm and Rail-
road Work.
The Department Of Labor is arrang-
ing to bring into the United States
10000 laborers for railroad and
farm work, from Porto Rico and the
Virgin Islands, according to Louis r.
Post, assistant secretary Of the De-
partment of Labor.
Mr.. Post declares there is no ne
cessity for importing common labor
from Mexico or China. Porto Rico
is an agricultural territory and yet
has a density of population exceeded
by only three States. A considerable
surplus of workers exists on the IS
land. It can furnish 100000 labor
ers, and the Virgin Islands can send
10000 more.
Arrangements are being made to
bring over $4,000 men as soon as ton
mage is available.

Transports Carry Books t Troops
Serving in France.

The overseas service of the Amer
lean Library Association, is in opera
ton. Although space is extremely
valuable aboard transports, they have
been provided with bookcases hold
ing collections of books which are
used as circulating libraries on the
way over. The cases are emptied at
port of debarkation and the books
sent to the men in the field.
AS a means of further increasing
the supply of books among the over
seas forces, the association plans to
have each soldier carry a book in his
kit, to be put in circulation when he
reaches the other side.

Large Australian Estates to Be Gu
Into Small Farms for Returned

Into Small Farms for Returned
Soldiers.
A recent report made by the United
States consul in Tasmania, an island
State of Australia, includes the fol
lowing:
"The general scheme for the re-
patriation Of returned soldiers con-
templates placing them upon the land.
At a recent conference between the
Commonwealth and the State author
tiles, it was decided that each state
would have to find the land, while
the Commonwealth Government
would advance up to $2,433 to i'm
prove the holding of each returned
soldier and to procure the necessary
stock and implements. In this State
it was deemed that the Crown lands
would prove too difficult to improve
pss attract returned soldiers, and it
was decided to purchase large estates
and divide them up into small farms
and to use the money advanced by the
Commonwealth Government for build
ings, fences, and tools. The money
expended by the State in purchasing
the land, as we'll as the money advanc-
ed by the Commonwealth for improve
ments, is lien upon the property and
must be repaid in small annual pay
ments. 1t was also decided by the
| Commonwealth to advance money to
returned soldiers who may desire to
rent land. Bills will be introduced
into the various Parliments at once
so that this scheme can be put into
operation throughout Australia"

their good behavior is the subject of
most favorable comments, especially
by our allies. American mothers may
rest assured that their sons are a
credit to them and to the Nation, and
they may well look forward to the
proud day when on the battle field
these splendid men will shed a new
luster IN American manhood"

are needed, therefore the extra
