Agent w. H. Sawyer of the Union
Power Co., speaking of the low water in
the Androscoggin says it is not due to
lack of supply in the headwaters, but to
the formation of ice in upper parts of the
river, obstructing the flow. He said
temperature would largely regulate the
flow from now on until the spring fresh
cts. If it is a mild winter, the flow will
be ample, but if unusually severe through
January and February, then the water
will be held back by ice formations.

Calomei is dangerous. 1t may sal
ivate you and make you suffer fear
fully from soreness of gums, tender
ness of jaws and teeth, swollen tongue
and excessive saliva dribbling from
the mouth. Don't trust calomel. 1t
is mercury; quicksilver.
If you feel bilious, headachy, con-
stipated and all knocked out, just go
to your druggist and get bottle of
Dodson's Liver Tone for a few cents
which is a harmless vegetable sub
stitute for dangerous calomen. Take
a spoonful and if it doesn't start your
liver and straighten you up better and
quicker than nasty calomel and with
out making you sick, you just go
back and get your money.
If you take calomeI today you'll
be sick and nauseated tomorrow; be-
sides, it may salivate 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 perfectly harmless and
