Louisiana Destroys Bonds.

Baton Rouge, La.-An $1,000, 900
bond fire is a rarity in these days.
Lighting a cigar with $1,000 bill

state put on an sS,0O0,000 bond fire.
They were real bonds at that. Bond

which had become obsolete, had ac-
cumulated in the vaults of State Treas
urer Howell Morgan until he did not
have room for the latter day records
and moneys of the commonwealth. He
appealed to the legislature, to both

tee to act with him in officially de-
stroying these obligations and getting
them out of the way.

SAYS CALOMEL

The Very Next Dose OF This
Treacherous Drug May
Start Trouble.

You know what calomel IS. It's mer-
curry; quicksilver. Calomel is danger
ous. 1t crashes into sour bile like
dynamite, cramping and sickening you.
Calomel attacks the bones and should
never be put into your system.
If you feel bilious, headachy, constf-
pated and all knocked out, just go to
your druggist and get bottle OF Dod-
sons 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.
Don't take caIomel! 1t makes you
sick the next day; it loses you a days
work. Dodson's Liver Tone straightens
you right up and you feel great. No
salts necessary. Give it to the children
because it is perfectly harmless and
can not salivate-Advertisem

DEADLY WEAPON OF SAVAGES
African Tribes Use Poisoned Arrows
Which lnflict Death That s
instantaneous.

The most effective weapon of the
Nasal and Andorobo is the arrow
which they poison with the Accan-
thera schimperi, small tree, accord
ing to National Geographic society
bulletin. They boil the leaves and
branches until the mixture becomes
thick and pitch-like in appearance, and
place it on sheets of bark which they
hide high on the branches of trees
away from children until it is needed
When an animal is shot with an arrow
dipped in the poison it dies almost i'm
mediately. The natives cut out the
flesh around the wound as soon as pos
sible and throw it away. The remain
der is eaten and the blood is drunk.
This love Of blood as an article of food
is common among many African tribes,
several of them going so far as to
bleed their cattle and drink the blood
hot or mix it with their porridge.
