If Gross, Feverish, Sick, Bilious
Give Fruit Laxative
at Once.

Every mother realizes after giving
her children California Syup of Figs,
that this is thei ideal laxative, be-
cause they love its pleasant taste
and it thoroughly cleanses the ten
der little stomach, liver and bowels
without giping.
When cross, irritable, feverish, or
breath is bad, stomach sour, look at
the tongue, Mother. If coated, give
teaspoonful of this harmless fruit
laxative and in few heours all the
foul, constipated waste, sour bile and
undigested food passes out of the
bowels and you have a we'll, playful
child again. When its little system
is full of cold, throat sore, has stom-
ach ache, diarrhoea, indigestion, col
ic-remember, a good inside cleans
ing should always be the first treat
ment given.
Millions of mothers keep Califor-
MIA Syrup of Figs handy. They know
teaspoonful today saves a sick

for bottle of California Syrup of
Figs, which has directions for babies,
children of all ages and grown-ups
printed on the bottle. Beware of

fooled. Get the genuine, made by

TRY It! SUBSTITUTE
FOR NASTY CALOMEL
Starts your liver without making
you sick and can not
saivate.

Every druggist in town-your drug
gist and everybody's druggist has noticed
great falling off in the sale of calomel.
They all give the same reason. Dodson's
Liver Tone is taking it's place.
"Calomel is dangerous and people know
it, while Dodson's Liver Tone is perfectly
safe and gives better results" said a
prominent local druggist. DOdson's
Liver Tone is personally guaranteed by
every druggist who sells it. A large
bottle costs but a few cents, and if it
fails to give easy relief in every case of
liver sluggishness and constipation, you
have only to ask for your money back.
Dodson's Liver Tone is a pleasant
tasting, purely vegetable remedy, harm
less to both children and adults. Take
spoonful at night and wake up feeling
fine; no biliousness, sick headache, acid
stomach or constipated bowels. It
doesn't grippe or cause inconvenience all
the next day like violent calomel. lake
dose of calomel today and TOM ROW
you will feel weak, sick and nauseated.
Don't lose days work. Take bod.
an's Liver Tone instead and feel fine,

CAYCE BRANN

MILITARY HONORS
American Red Cross

Winchester, England.
Mrs. Iva Brann,
Mcconnell, Tenn.

Mrs. Iva Brann,
Mcconnell, Tenn.
Dear Mrs. Brann:-By the time
this letter reaches you, you will have
learned the sad news of the death
CT your husband, who died of pneu-
monia at the U. S. Military Hospital
at Hursley Park, about four miles
from this old city, on Sept. &c at
1890 p. m.
It is a matter of regret that
can give no words from him during
his last illness, because he was, for
the last few days before his death,
too i'll to talk, but l can assure you
that everything was done for him
that could be done by a competent
staff of American physicians and
nurses in an excellent American
hospital.
The interment at the cemetery at
Morn Hill was with full military
honors. The services were conduc-
ted by the U. S. Army chaplain
Michigan, and Lieut.. O'Connor, rep
resenting the American Red Cross,
was present at the burial. Three
volleys were fired over the grave by
a squad of selected non-commissioned
officers and the impressive services
were ended by the last call of "taps."
The resting place of your husband
is on the crest of a hill overlooking
many miles of beautiful English
country, and many of his comrades
who died in the same great cause
lie near him. l trust that it will be
consolation to you in your bereave-
ment to know that your husband lies
in this hallowed ground and that his
memory will be forever cherished as
one of the noble Americans who
have given their lives, not only for
their own country, but for England,
France and the civilized world.
With assurance Of my personal
sympathy, believe me to be,
Yours very sincerely,
A. M. KIDD,

very appropriate music. The coffin
was covered with the Stars and

grave there was a large assemblage
of people, not only our own soldiers,

had been lowered into the grave, a
volley fired and taps sounded nearly
everyone present either threw in a
