Why Take CaIomeI?
DR.. Thacher's Liver & Blood Syrup
will do all that calomeIwill do and
without the latter effects"

Years ago, when peoplewere bilious,
when the liver got lazy and failed to do
its work or the stomach was out OF
condition, calomel was the standby.
By and by the users of calomel found
that the "after effects" of taking the
drug were as bad and more often worse
than the ailment for which it was
taken.

to take the place of calomel-one that

would do, and yet leave none OF its evil

EVER SALIVATED BY
CALOMEL? 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. 1t is guaranteed to
start your liver without stirring
you up inside, and cannot sal
ivate.
Don't take calomel! 1t
makes you sick the next day;
it loses you a 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. l

MARKETING CANNED GOODS

Washington, D. c., May 20.-Se-
cure orders for canned products be-
fore putting them up, says the Blu
reau of Markets, United States De-
partment of Agriculture, which adj
vises housewives and club members
to study their markets at the begin
ming of the season and pack accord
ing to the local demands for different
products.
Small lots of non-standardized pro-
ducts are difficult to sell except among
local buyers and are not purchased
by the army, navy, commercial deal
ers, or any department Of the govern
ment. Many appeals to the Depart
ment of Agriculture to find a mar
ket for home canned goods have been
made during the past year and often
the Gamers believed that the Govern
ment was in the market for such
goods. Subject to whatever regula-
tions may be made by the Federal
Government the marketing of food
products will proceed in the usual
manner and the Bureau of Markets
points out that proper grading, STAN
dardizing, and careful preparation
for market are especially necessary in
handling canned goods, jams, j%ellies,
and preserves.
The Surplus on the Pantry Shelves
Home canned products can be kept
over from one season to the next and
those who have not sold their goods
have reserves to draw from for their
home table. It is good policy, say
the specialists, for the housewife to
provide a reasonable surplus beyond
the probable home consumption for
the next crop year.
While the Bureau of Markets is
giving aid to producers on market
ing problems it says that it is diff
cult to place producers of small guam
titles of different kinds Of products
in touch with buyers, and urges horne
and club Gamer to learn the mar
keting end of their business just the
same as producers in other lines of
industry.
Information on marketing canning
club products may be found in Mar
kets Document 5, published by the

culture.

What Service Is.
$11.65

The most blessed of human endeavors
Is service-the service that educates
and builds and makes this old world a
better and happier place in which to
live and work. Service is the spirit Of
the hour. 1t blesses him that gives and
him that gets; 1t is the brotherhood Of
man in business 1t is the helping hand
extended unselfishly 1t is bread cast
upon the waters; 1t is a way Of help
ing ourselves by helping each other.
The best that can be said of any man
Is this: "He served others that they
might better serve themselves."-Bar-

was ascertained that most Of the

goose foot, ETC., may cause the attack
or help to maintain 1t when set up by

ATTRACTION
AT THE COLONIAL

Salisbury Field and Margaret
Mayo's brilliant comedy, Twin Beds, -
aptly described as "Mirth's Marathon
Winner" will be seen at the Colonial
Theatre tonight under the direction
of A. S. Stern and Company, direct
from a solid years run in New York
where it played to the largest aver
age audiences ever assembled in
metropolitan playhouse. 1t has also
to its credit six months in Australia
and has already reached its second
year in London. Laughter is said to
never leave off in Twin Beds it is
a riot almost all the time, tornado
of harum scarum fun. Twin Beds
is just one uprOarious joke. 1t con-
Germs itself with the narrowing eX-
perience of three couples who live in
a large and fashionable apartment
house. and through the first friend
illness of one of their number, sud
denly find that, try as they may, they
cannot escape each other. In the
scramble for peace and privacy, both
of which recede steadily as the plot
unfolds, the characters are intensely
amusing.
