suited in the release of a number OF

Calomel attacks the bones and should

When you feel bilious, sluggish,
constipated and all knocked out and
believe you need dose of danger
Gus calomel just remember that your
druggist sells for a few cents a large
bottle Of Dodson's Liver Tone, which
is entirely vegetable and pleasant to
take and it is perfect substitute for
calomel. 1t is guaranteed to start
your liver without stirring you up IN
side, and can not salivate.
Don't take calomel! It makes YOU
sick the next day; it loses you a days
work. Dodson's Liver Tone straight
ems you right up and you fee lgreat.
Give it to the children because it is
perfectly harmless and doesn't gripe.

With two 14-inch bottoms, under
average blowing conditions, the new
Moline Universal Tractor, Model D,
plows 9 acres in 10 hours, as much
as ordinary 3-plow machine. The SUI
perior efficiency of the Moline Uni
versal is due to its higher speed, 3H
miles an hour, two bottoms at 3H
miles giving the same number of
plow-mileS as three bottoms at I'd
miles.
Flowing at 81 miles an hour gives
ideal results, the ground being pull
verified more thoroughly than at
slower speeds, with less air space.
Tough sod that cannot be turned at
all at 22 miles an hour is plowed
with ease.
Perfect work is assured with the
Moline Universal through the advan-
tageous position of the operator, who
sits on the implement, where he must
sit in order to do good work. The
Moline Universal is easily handled,
turns short, and backs as readily as
it goes forward.
Waste Of time in the field is elimi-
mated and the tractor kept at produc-
tive work a maximum number of
hours day through complete cleo
trio starting and lighting system. The
Moline Universal is the only tractor
thus regularly equipped.
