Buy bottle of Chamberlain's Collie

home. AS rule it cannot be obtained
when on hunting, fishing or pros
pecting trip. Neither can it be OBJ
tanned while on board the Cars or
steamships and at such times and
places it is most likely to be needed.
The safe way is to have it with you.

WHOSE FAULT?

"Mr. Mayor and Gentlemen of the
Council Is your fire department pro-
perly equipped to meet the instant de-
mands made upon it; has it sufficient
hose, proper vehicles for moving equip
ment without loss of time, and are its
members enthusiastic in their work !?
If not WHY?
at is possible that either of you can
better answer this question than any
one else. In the experience of the De-
partment of State Fire Marshal it has
been found that most of the enthusiasm
of willing, anxious and brave young
hearts has been killed aborning,-in
fact deliberately smothered to death
by the blanket of Indifference at the
hands of those most to be benefited.
"All fire departments in the first days
of organization, plan wonderful and ne
cessary things for the protection OF
the town, but when they attempt tC
carry plans into effect, they are sudder
ly confronted with the insurmountablC
wall of Indifference, and lack of co-ope
ration. They gradually become discOu
ragged, and in a little while, all that re
mains of the once promising organiza

Ugh! Calomel makes yon sick. It's

Calomel is mercury! When it comes
into contact with sour bile, it crashes

you feel that awful nausea and cramp-

Here's my guarantee-vo to any

Liver Tone for - asfew cents. Take a
spoonful and if it doesn't straighten
you right up and make you feel fine
and make you feel fine and vigorous, go
back to the store and get your money.
