Calomel acts like dynamite on a
sluggish 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 a few cents,
which is a harmless vegetable sub
stitnte for dangerous calomel. Take
spoonful and if it doesn't start
your liver and straighten you up
better and quicker than nasty calomel
and without making you sick, you
just 60 back and get your money.
If you take calomel today you'll be
sick and nauseated tomorrow; be-
sides, it may salivate you, while if
you take Dodson's Liver Tone you
will wake up feeling great, full of
ambition and ready for work or play.
It is harmless, pleasant and safe to
give to children; they like it.

BOARD HOLDS NO MEETINGS
President Decides All Questions for
Members, but Never Calls Them
in for q Conference.

There is no more familiar title
among government departments than
the board of trade. 1t seems to be re-
sponsibIe for all kinds of things and
all sorts of undertakings and happen
ings. 1t will find you chairwoman or
negotiate a commercial treaty. 1t con-
sists Of a president and large num-
Der of members among whom are
reckoned the Archbishop of Canter-
bury and the speaker of the house of
commons, a writer In London Tit-Bits
states.
BY law these members have a right
to be called to discuss questions of
trade and to help the president to shape
his policy. yet the fact remains no meet
Ings are ever held! The president
never dreams of calling his committee
together. He does much as ne likes,
comes to his own decisions, and then
announces that ''the board thinks so
and So"
One wonders what would happen If
the archbishop or some other member
were to insist upon being consulted,
this this surprising method Of doing
business should cease.
The board Of trade does not stand
alone. Every school-teacher In the
land knows that .'my lords say this
and my lords" rule that. Their full
title Is ''the lords of the committee Of
the privy council of education;" but
they never meet. and the vice presi-
dent would probably be puzzled to
name half-dozen of them. Mr.. Fish,
er and his predecessors rule without
my lords" but In their name. Thus
do they get credit for the good they
do and are refuge In the day of
storm.

Tractor Has Feet and Legs.

A tractor without wheels designed

1t has four legs with ski-shaped feet,
these legs having hip, knee and ankle
joints and they take steps like those
Of an animal.
The legs are driven by a gasoline
motor. They are steered around cor
ners by making those on one side
take longer steps than those on the
other and reversing is accomplished
by transferring the knee-caps from the
front to the back Of the joints.
The machine can straddle row of
