druggist has noticed a great failing oil

the same reason, DOdson's Liver Tone
Is taking its place.
"CalOmel is dangerous and people
know It, while DOdson's Liver Tone is
perfectly safe and gives better results, j"
said prominent local druggist. Dod-
sons Liver Tone is personally guaran-
teed by every druggist. A large bottle
costs but few cents, and If it fails to
give easy relief In every case Of liver
sluggishnesS and constipation, you
have only to ask for your money back.
Dodson's Liver Tone is a pleasant
tasting, purely. vegetable remedy,
harmless to both children and adults.
Take spoonful at night and wake up
feeling fine; no biliousness, sick head
ache, acid stomach or constipated
bowels. 1t doesn't grippe or cause incon-
venience all the next day like violent
calomel. Take a dose of calomel to-
day and tomorrow you win feel weak,

Both clubs held monthly meetings at
which each boy reported regarding his

Of eggs laid, the amount Of scratch
feed and dry mash used. More than
one boy received kindly but pointed
criticism Of his methods when reports
showed poor egg production. At the
