KAISER BILL

Yes, mothers, your sons have gone
forth to fight in distant land,
To fight for you and their country
land
Twas sad to see them go,
But Kaiser Bill went too farwe know;
That is why the L. S. hit the Kaiser
so.
Fathers, in France your boy may be,
Or sailing on the deep blue sea
Their absence you miss, we know,
But they are blessed by all the L. S..
The country we all love best.
Sisters, your fathers and brothers
that have left,
They have answered the call Of the
Congress hall
Their love for you will continue still ;
Equal to the hatred of Kaiser Bill.
Brothers have left us; too,
And will stay until the war is
through;
Back Old Glory they will bring;
Victory Throughout this country
land will ring
With freedom we shall sail and sing
upon the ocean far and near,
Of our soldiers that fought Kaiser
Bill so dear (?)
Sweethearts have left you, dears,
Let the echo Oh their love ring in
your ears
In their absence let us be true,
And help them fight the battles
through:
And when this war is over for the U.
S. a great victory will be won,
So be patient still,
They will return when they get
Kaiser Bill.
If upon the battle field any of them
are slain,
Let echoes OF their honor through
out eternal ages ring
Let US pray God, if consistent to
His will,
To save all the soldier boys that will
have fought Kaiser Bill.

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

Every druggist in town-your
druggist and everybody's druggist
has noticed a great falling-off in the
sale OF calomel. They all give the
same reason. Dodson's Liver Tone
is taking its place.
"Calomel is dangerous and people
know it, while Dodson's Liver Tone
is perfectly safe and gives better re-
Suits" said a prominent local drug.
gist. Dodson's Liver Tone is per-
sonally guaranteed by every drug
gist 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 pleasant
tasting, purely vegetable remedy,
harmless to both children and adults.
Take spoonful at night and wake
up feeling fine; no biliousness. sick
headache, acid stomach or consti-
pated bowels. 1t doesn't gripe or
cause inconvenience all the next
day like violent calomel.
