CAIOMEIi DYNANITES
a SLUGGISH LIVER
crashes into Sour Bile, Making You
Sick and You Lose Days
Work.

Calomcl salivates! It's mercury
Calomel acts like dynamite on slug
Sish liver When Calomel comes in
to contact with sour bile it crashes
into 1t, causing cramping and nausea.
If you feel bilious, headachy, con-
s,ipated and all knocked out, Just
so to your druggist and get a bottle
OF Dodson's Liver Tono for a few
cents, which is a harmless vegetable
substitute for dangerous calomel
Take a 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 go back and get your
money.
If you take calomcl to-day you'll
be sick and nauseated tomorrow;
besides, it may salivate you, while
81 you take Dodson's Liver Tone you
well wake up feeling great, full OF
ambition and ready for work or
blay. It's harmless, pleasant and
safe to give to children they like it.

TRAINING BLIND SOLDIERS.
Institution Near baltimore for Re-
fitting Men for Life.

BaltlmOre, Jan. l1.-Scventy-Onc
Of tho 200 mon Of the American
fighting forces who we're blinded In
tho war now are being sheltered,
treated or educated in the Red Cross
Institute for the Blind at Baltimore.
The institution has been designated
as q United States general hospital
and is called Evergreen. Col.
J1mes Bordley, director Of the in
etitution, said that all the Amcri-
cans blinded in the war would be
brought here for a course of train
ing, as this was the only training
school for the blind maintained by
morale of the blinded men as won
Lerful
''Thc men are first treated in the
hospital" says Col. Bordley, after
which they arc taught to use a type
writer and read and write Baille-
raised type for the blind. Then they
receive special training to develop
the sense Of touch.
After this fundamental hand
training, the men are given special
education to fit them for the calling
in which they are interested and are
qualified successfully to follow.
"Thus, those with inclination and
the inherent ability are trained for
such occupations as stenographers,
statesmen, correspondents, retail
store managers. (In connection with
this latter occupation, plans have
been already made to open q chain
of retail stores. each Of which will
have a blind soldier as manager)
"Those with a love Of out Of doors
and a natural aptitude of out-of-
door life. will be trained for chicken
aaising, bee keeping, truck garden
ing and such occupations. These Of
such calibre and mentality that fits
them for industrial life are trained,
not merely in shop practice, hut for
some particular job that they can
fill and in which they will feel
happy.
men with high quality OF edu-
cation and ability that fits them for
professional life will be given such
special education as will enable them
to follow their chosen career, such
as law, literature, etc.

On tho list
Ratification was completed to-day
by the Legislatures of five States

The amendment under its pro-
visions becomes effective one year
from the date Of the final ratifica-

already has been laid. This legisla-

BETTER HIGHWAYS AND HEALTH

Good highways have a definite bear
ing on the health of the nation. They
permit better medical attention to
sufferers in rural communities. Good
roads allow city people to frequently
flee from the dust and dirt of the city
and enables them to breathe whole
some moving air. Excursions into the
country permits the body to relax
and allows the mind to dispel thoughts
OF the days work.
There are fewer physicians in the
rural districts than In the cities
there are fewer nurses. and practi-
cally no hospital facilities in the rural
districts. The inadequate supply of
doctors in the country is largely due
to the lack OF means of getting around
the country without extreme hard.

consult with specialists at distance.
The number of deaths of women In
childbirth is proportionately greater
in the country than in the city, and
the number of babies who die within
the first thirty days after birth is far
greater This condition is directly
traceabe to the fact that adequate
medical care is not available for the
rural mothers and babies.
Much of the future development of
public health work, visiting, nursing
and medical service generally in the
rural communities depends upon the
development of good roads. Likewise
will be hastened rural community hos
pitals and transportation thereto.
City residents are vitality concerned
in the condition of rural roads from
the standpoint of health protection be-
cause they are dependent on good
roads for fresh milk. Large cities are
furnished milk from remote rural
regions BAD roads delay it's deliv-
cry. Often milk accumulates two
days or more before delivery from the
farm Bacteria often develops dan
gerously in the meantime. Good roads
will emancipate the cities from de-
pending upon existing clumsy means
of transportation.
