YOU WOULDN'T TRY
TO TAME WILDCAT
MIR. Dodson Warns Against
Use of Treacherous, Danger
GUS Calomel.

Calomel salivates! It's mercury.
Calomel acts like dynamite on a
sluggish liver. When calomel comes
nto contact with sour bile it crashes
into it, causing cramping and nausea.
If you feel bilious, headachy,
constipated and all knocked out, just
go to your druggist and get bottle
of Dodson's Liver Tone for 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 calomel today you'll be
sick and nauseated tomorrow; besides,
it may saivate you, while if you take
Dodson's Liver Tone you will wake up
feeling great, full of ambition and
ready for work or play. It's harm
less, pleasant and safe to give to
children; they like it.

Why Colds Are Dangerous.

You are often told to "beware of 9
cold" but why? We will tell you
Every cold weakers the lungs, lowers
the vitality and paves the way for thu
more serious diseases. People who
contract pneumonia first take cold
The longer cold hangs on, the great
er the danger, especially from the
germ diseases, as a cold prepares TIL
system for the reception and develop
ment of the germs of consumption
diphtheria !, scarlet fever and whoop
ing cough. The quicker you get rio
of your cold, the less the danger OF
contracting nne of these diseases
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has q
great reputation as a cure for colds
and can be depended upon. 1t is
pleasant to take.

LITTLE GIRL FATALLY
INJURED BY ENGINE
Gladys, The Little Five-Year
Old Daughter Of Mr.. And
Mrs. S. E. Oswalt, Hit By En-
gine While Family Home
Was Burning.

Little Gladys, the five-year old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. S. E. Oswalt
was hit by locomotive engine about
o'clock, Tuesday afternoon and was
most seriously if not fatally injured.
The accident occurred on the rail-
road tracts in front of the Oswalt
home who occupied the Askew prop
erty in North Water Valley. At the
time of the accident the house was
burning and many people were pres
ent to assist the firemen in fighting
the fire. LittleGladys together with
several other children went out on
the railroad tracts during the excite
ment attendant on the fire and while
absorbed in watching the house burn,
failed to notice freight train COM
ing from the north until the ponder
Gus engine was almost on them. The
children scattered and ran, but little
Gladys was hit by the engine and was
terribly injured, her skull being frac-
tured and she was otherwise injured.
Mr.. Dee Gore tenderly picked the
child up and carried her to neigh
boris home and called physician at
once to attend to her injuries.
At present the child is still alive,
but very little encouragement is given
out for her recovery.
Mrs. Oswalt, mother Of the injured
child, was sick at the time of the fire
and accident to her little darling and
the mother is almost distracted over
the terrible accident.
The fire was extinguished before
any great damage was done to the
home, and the contents of the house
suffered only slight damage, mostly
from water and breakage in remov-
ing them from the burning building.

man. He was one Of the founders Of
Ell Nuevo Dia of Cebu, the first Fill
pino paper published advocating Phil
ippine independence. The paper came
under the censorship of General NC
Intyre, and on the appearance OF the
first number the editors were left In
the singular position Of seeing every
prominent article blue penciled.

not mean to infer we are perfect, for
we are not. My people have most OF
the defects, suppose. that other hu-
mans have, but at the same time we
are far from the people that many
Americans have been made to believe.
Not only are we a Christian people,
but our race has history that we are
not ashamed Of Throughout the Phil
ippine Islands the people are now
working earnestly to improve them
selves and their conditions so they will
be prepared to take over their own AZ

us q chance to help ourselves and for
having promised US our independence,
which is one of the dearest desires OF
the entire citizenship Of the islands."
To American women whose ideas OF

country.
At q recent Washington gathering
she gave In perfect English concise
account of the work of q woman's club

babies Of the poor and trains mothers
