British Freedom OF Speech

TT has been the boast OF most Britishers
1 that since the armistice was signed and
the defense OF the realm act automatically
expired, citizens of the empire were free
to say what they pleased, when they pleased
and to have their say as often as they
pleased regarding the government it's poli-
cies, its reformation and the rest Of it. With
touch of superiority. the British powers
have compared the lack OF restraint in this
regard to the unfortunate experiences of
America and other countries in their fight
against sedition, Dolshevsm and verbal ter
rorism generally.
Just now the British government is Civ

YOU WOULDN'T TRY
TO TAME A. WILDCAT
Mr.. Dodson Warns Against Us Of
Treacherous, Dangerous
CalomeI.

Calomel salivates! It's mercury.
Calomel acts like dynamite on a slug
gish liver. When calomel comes into
contact with sour bile it crashes into
it, causing cramping and nausea.
If you feel bilious, constructed,
headachy and all knocked out, just go
to your druggists and get a bottle of
Dodsons Liver Tone for a few cents
which is harmless vegetable substi-
tute for dangerous calomel. Take a
spoonful and if it doesn't start your
liver and straighten you up better and
quicker than the 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 salivate you, while if you take
Dodson's Liver Tone you will wake up
feeling great, full of ambition and
ready for owrk or play. It's harmless.
pleasant and safe to give the children;
they like it. Adv bod
