looking forward with longing to the

Even CAREFUL
CALOMEL USERS
ARE SAL|vATED
Next Dose of Treacherous Druu
May Start Misery
for You.

CalOmel is dangerous. 1t may salivate
you and make you suffer fearfully from
soreness of gums, tenderness of jaws
and teeth, swollen tongue and excess
sive saliva dribbling from the mouth.
Don't trust calomel. 1t is mercury :;
quicksilver.
If you feel bilious, headachy, consti-
pated and all knocked out, just go to
your druggist and get bottle of bod
sons Liver Tone for few cents which
is 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.
If you take calomel today you'll be
sick and nauseated tomorrow: besides,
it may saliyate you, while if you take
DOdson's Liver Tone you will wake up
feeling great. No salts necessary. Give
it to the children because it is per-
fectly harmless and can not salivate.

ought to be our paramount purpose,
for, what doth it profit a man if

In the worlds news today you may
read pathetic stories of men and wom-
en- who have fallen from high estates
through failure to conquer themselves.
Married pairs have broken their
.troth; bank clerks have pilfered, and
all manner of men and women have
blighted their lives and the lives of
their families, simply because of for
getfulness of duty in a moment of
weakness, when they were unable to
control an evil spirit.
They lacked the power to conquer
self, and in their impotence they de-
serted the front line of brave fighters.

Then farewell doubt and care.

Comes fraught with childish glee.
And light of heart face the day.
For on its morning air
Comes sweet music my ears to greet !:
"Dood mornin', pop! You dere?"
When life is done, its task laid down ::
When comes eternity;
I humbE pray the judgment day
Will bring one, boon to me.
One boon I ask of Thee, dear Lord
That in that city fair
My ears shall hear that greeting clear:

DO ROUGH WORK FIRST

THERE is nothing delightful about
- spading the earth to plant a gar
den. But it has to be done before you
can enjoy the garden.
There is nothing pleasant, except TO
the mathematical mind, about studying
geometry or algebra.
But even if you will never use these
things in your business life they are
necessary to teach you concentration,
and the faculty of reasoning. You'll
need both concentration and reasoning
by and by.
Getting rich across lots is possible.
but rare. Getting happiness across
lots is impossible. There is no short
cut to real success.
You have got TO begin by doing vast
amounts of hard, uninteresting work
before your life shows any results at
all.
AS you advance, your work will be-
come more Observation-Disclosures by
and by, If you are really making prog
ress.
Then it will be easy to do. 1t will
be hard for you to tear yourself away
from it. But that is a stage that is
far in the future.
In the beginning it Is all like spading
a garden-aard, wearisome drudgery,
with nothing at the end of the days
work to reward you
1t must be done. just the same, and
if you will apply to every days task
the rule that you must apply through
life, of doing the rough part first, you
