DODS0N WOULD STOP SALE 0F CAL0MEL
Says Calomel Is Mercury and Acts Like Dynamite on
 Your Liver

Dodson fs making a hard fight against calomel in the south. Every druggist has noticed a great falling off in the sale of calomel. They all give 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 re- suits" said a prominent local druggist. Dodson's Liver Tone is personally guaranteed 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 consti- ration. 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 a spoonful at night and wake up seeling fine; no biliousness. sick head ache, acid stomach or constipated bow els It doesn't gripe or cause incon- venience all the next day like violent aalomel. Take a dose of calomel to- day and tomorrow you win feel weak. sick and nauseated. Don't lose a days work! Take Dodson's Liver Tone in- stead and feel fine. full of vigor and ambition.-Adv.

that there IS language, a jargon, a vernacular, a dialect slang vocabulary. what you will-peculiar to the waifs of the
 street-those who come in contact with the jailbirds, the police force and those who frequent such places, as well as 'al- leys" and dives and strange places,
 where ignorance and vice consume the inha bitants.
 Men and women who "topple" from the paths of recttude and decorum rapidly acquire queer 'modus operandi" Of speech, it is said by those who have studied the situation
 Policemen, 'plainclothes" men and jail- ors soon find themselves almost thinking in this weird patois as we'll as speaking it, and then the next thing we know this same weird patois creeps into print the newspapers, the magazines, the "s.x best sellers" the "one hundred best short stories," and it is taken up and carried on to the floodtide of slang
 Finally much of it drops into our own everyday vernacular, no matter to what sphere of life we belong, and tt travels from original sin, far from the police, the underworld, the 'newsies," the alley rats" and the street waifs"-and even breaks into some of the best die tionaries.
 Have you ever stopped to think of that?
 Nevertheless, it is crook jargon, root, branch and thistle, and just as the trte old aphorism says, there is nothing new under the sul," just so there is little new in tha ictionary-verifying this old adage.

against Okomota. The state has at

committed with robbery as the mo-
