PRESERVING SOIL MOISTURE
Pernicious Practice of Permitting Wa.

Be Discouraged.

The practice that prevails in some
irrigation localities of letting the nat

with the idea that more water can be
applied when it is needed, is most per
nicious and should be discouraged, say
specialists of the United States De
partment of Agriculture. If the moist

form of precipitation or as irrigation
water is retained by the soil 1t Will en-

of safety in having an unlimited sup
ply of water for irrigation purposes,
but it should be remembered that irri-

DODSOAI KILLING
USE Of CALOMEL
Says Drug Is Mercury and Acts
Like Dynamite on Your
Liver.

Dodson is making a hard fight
against calomel in the South. Every
druggist has noticed a great falling of
in the sale of caIomel. They all give
the same reason. Dodson's Liver Tone
Is taking its place.
"CalOmeI is dangerous and people
know it. while Dodson's Liver Tone is
perfectly safe and gives better results"
said prominent local druggist bod
sons Liver Tone is personally guaran-
teed by every druggist. A large bottle
costs but a 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.
DOdsoD's Liver Tone is a pleasant
tasting, purely vegetable remedy,
harmless to both children and adults.
Take a spoonful at night and wake up
feeling fine; no biliousness, sick head
ache. acid stomach or constipated
bowels. It doesn't grippe or cause incon-
venience all the next day like violent
calomel. Take a dose Of calOmel to-
day and tomorrow you viii 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.
