YOU NEVER CAN
TAME A WILD CAT
Mr.. Dodson Warns Against
Use of Treacherous, DAN ;,
gerous CaIOrnel

Calomel salivates! It's mercury.
Ca!omel acts like dynamite on slug
sish liver. When calomel comes IN,
contact with sour bile it crashes into
it.. causing c:ainping and nausea.
If you feel bilious, headachy, con-
stipated and all knocked out, just 60
to your druggist and get bottle OF
Dodson's Liver Tone for d. few cent:
which is harmless vegetable sub
stitute for dangerous~.c al5mei. Take
4 spoonful and il it doesn't start yHlr
liver and straigllten 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 salivate' you, while if you take
ncdsons Liver Tone you will wake up
feeling great, full of ambition and
ready fer work or play. It's harmless
pleasant, and safe to give to children:
they like it.

and found that the distance from the
Methodist Church in Gardneryille to

mile and a half Between the limits
OF the two towns there is half a mile
OF road that can be built under the
federal highway act. State and fed
eral aid cannot be secured for build
ing roads within the limits of cities or
unincirporated towns.
According TO estimates made by the
highway commission, concrete road
20 feet wide. with six inches of cement
will cost approximately $4,000 per
mile, and under condition, one mile of
this road would necessarily be built
by the county, the rest to be built und-
er the federal road act, in which the
state pays one-fourth, the government
one-half and the county one-fourth

issue of 100000 for road construction

without the concent or backing of the
taxpayers. Petitions are to be circul-
lated urging the commissioners to

URGED BY GRAY

A. B. Gray, Received of the United
States Land office at Carson City and
an active member of the Greater Car
son Club. was in Gardnerville We'd
nesday for the purpose of creating
la better feeling between the two
towns relative to road matters, es-
peeially tourist travel during the
lsammer months. Mr.. tray was given
a. surance of hearty cooperation pro-
vided that the past practice of knock
ing any particular road or route was
eliminated. Last year a road book Is
sued by Carson detrimental state
ments relative to road conditions In
Douglas county with the result that
there was no cooperation between the
two towns.
There is no reason for such condi-
] tions to exist. A little team work
| In the right direction will prove of
great benefit to both communities.
Mr.. Gray advocates this step and will
work along these lines. He is ex-
tremely anxious to create better
feeling and bringing about a move
ment of cooperation, rather than an
Indifference.
This community will meet Carson
more than half way. and with con-
crete highway between the two points,
which is sure to come within the next
few years. Carson City will receive a
great benefit from this rich Valley,
but a short distance to her south.
