UGH! CiIDMEL MAKES
YOU DEATHLY SICK
Stop Using Dangerous Drug Before
1t Salivatcs You! It's Horrible!

You're bilious, sluggish, consti-
pated, and believe you need vile,
dangerous calomel to start your liver
and clean your bowels.
Here's my guarantee! Ask your
druggist for bottle of Dodson s
Liver Tone and take a spoonful to-
night. If it doesn't start your liver
and straighten you right up better
than calomel and without gripping
or making you sick ! want you to go
back to the store and get your money
Take calomel to-day and to-mor-
row you will feel weak and sick and
nauseated. Don't lose a days work
Take spoor"ll Of harmless, vege-
table Dods0n Liver Tone tonight
and wake up feeling great. It's
perfectly harmless, so give it to your
children any time. 1t can't salivate,
SO let them eat anything afterwards.

The rate Of foreign exchange is
p"ohibit!ve; gold for exchange has
practically ceased to move from this
country Tor commercial purposes. We
are being throttled by the available
, gold Of the world being dumped upon
us for war materials. The pound
sterling is normally $i.SG5. II Is
now Ground $500. This means that
if az E.ngl!sh m;ll purchases $780,

would be anout ) 900. II 1t was Il
German merchant, this discoun;
would be - per cent, because the
mark now sells in New York for five
cahts. This foreign exchange rate is
b2scd upon the principle Of the can
ceiiation Of Indebtedness. Trade bal
Gn' IS and exports are not paid in
go'h. but the money Of the creditor
country Is adjusted to the currency
of the debtor country. The only rem
edy for present conditions is for Eu-
ropean countries to increase their
exports to us.
"llow can they do this unless
they can get raw material with which
to manufacture their goods?
How can they get raw material
unless we extend credit? Europe is
bankrupt unless we extend aid. If
we make eleven million bales OF cot
ton and carry over four million. we
will have Il surplus Of six million
bales at the lowest calculation. No
matter what the price Of cotton was.
Europe could not buy except on
credit.
Foreign Exchange.
1.-The foreign exchange rate is Il
mere barometer. If you want proof
Of this, in 1915 the London rate
went to $4.i3, and Europe could not
buy war munitions and food until
our government deposited Il large
amount Of gold with Canadian banks
and our rich men bought American
securities held abroad. Even this
did not suffice, and large loans We're
made by this country to the Allies.
1t is Il significant fact that the
amount OF the loans to England and
France were practically the same as
the exports sold them, so that YOU
can see that Europe can only hur
when she sells to us or borrows from
us.

Mrs. Otto Olson

Mrs. Otto Olson died at her home
in Framnas last Sunday afternoon,
March 18th, from hemorrhage after
time there was every hope that she
would speedily recover.
Mrs. Olson was a noble woman,
kind neighbor, and devoted wife
and mother, and the news of her
death was received with sorrow by
the large circle of friends among
whom she held in the highest esteem.
She had spent practically her whole
life here. Her maiden name was
Della Lee, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
o. T. o. Lee, and she was born at At
water, Mimi, Feb. 1, 1880, but came
to this county as little girl with
her parents. She was married to Mr..
Olson seventeen years ago, and all of
their happy married life has been
spent on the Olson farm in Framnas.
To them we're born six children, who
with the other sorrowing relatives,
have the sympathy of all. They are
Nora, Elmer, Stella, Bernard, Janette
and Howard. Other surviving rela-
tives are her father, o. T. o. Lee; !;
her brothers, Alfred Lee of Danvers,
and Peter Lee of Cyrus; and her sis
ters, Mrs. Anton Ettesvold, Mrs.
Hans Olson of Framnas, and Miss
Clara Lee, who is a Red Cross nurse
in France.
