SAYS CAL0MEL
SALWATES AND
LO0SENS TEETH


You know what calomel Is. It's mer-
curry; quicksilver. Calomel is danger
Gus. 1t crashes into sour bile like dyna-
mite, cramping and sickening you. Cal
omel attacks the bones and should new
er be put into your system.
If you feel bilious, headachy, consti-
pated and all knocked out just go to
your druggist and get bottle OF D0d-
sons Liver Tone for few cents which
Is a harmless vegetable substitute for
dangerous calomel. Take a spoonful and
II 1t doesn't start your liver and
straighten you up better and quicker
than nasty calomel and without making
you sick, you just 60 back and get your
money.
Don't take calomel! 1t makes you
sick the next day 1t loses you a days
work. Dodson's Liver Tone straightens
you right up and you feel great. No
salts necessary. Give It to the child
rem because it is perfectly harmless and
can not salivate.

Decision.

However many paths are offered,
we can take but one. But when we
decide upon a course 1t is folly to al
low the mind to wander continually
along the others. specializing concern
ing their possible advantages, and
wondering whether, after all, some
other way might not have been better.
The real road grows more difficult by
permitting fancy to paint the o.. .

Preparing For The Fair.


1t is universally conceded that the Fair
Grounds must be made larger in some way
if the Fair. as promised by present pros
poets, is going to be accommodated. As no
one can be persuaded to sell land at present
to enlarge them, the directors have con-
cluded to spend as much in improving the
grounds already within the fences as they
would have to pay for more land, which
will be good DEAL With this in view
near thousand feet of bitches have been
cut in the infield, and about two acres of
hitherto useless land has been made avail
able for parking space. The machines will
be parked this year with avenues laid out
SO that any machine can get out at any
hour and avoid the jam of past years.
Selected members of the Boy Scout troops
of the county will assist in this work. and
each scout master will be invited to send
the names of about ten of his troop best
fitted for this work. They will be under
Mr.. Walter Cashell, whose ability was
demonstrated on Thursday of last year.
Mr.. W. C. Snarr. the County Agent, on
the eve of his departure for the trip to
Europe with the winners of the National
Judging Contest Of last year. reports that
at least 40 junior pigs will be shown by
members of the Boys Agricultural Clubs
of the county. This exhibit will be in its
own building and will be worth seeing.
Mr.. Snarr brightens up when boys are
mentioned and if he is given support in
this county as he was in that from VIII ich
he came, Montgomery will have some boys
going to Europe next year probably.
AS there seems to have been some ques-
ton as to the meaning of the conditions Of
the nter-county Colt Race on the first day
of the Fair. the board of directors have
ruled that the words up to four year"
mean that colts in their fourth year. &C.
cording 10 the racing rules. are eligible to
enter and go in this race. As it affects
only local horses no change will be made
in printed programs.
Several applications of organizations
among the colored people for the use of
the grounds have been denied already this
year, and as it has been a settled policy
not to rent to such organizations. the pres
ent board will follow the ruling Of its pre-
decessors in this matter.
The Rockville Baseball Club. Rockville
Fire Department and the horsemen on the
grounds made application for the grounds
for carnival ball game and races on July
4th and ii was granted. The Montgomery
County General Hospital has been granted
the use of the grounds for July 26th. The
condition attached to both was that the
grounds shall be cleaned up after each day.

The Home OF The Soul.

In olden times. it was believed that the
seat of the soul was the stomach. most
likely for the reason that a man is never
so completely used up as when his stom-
ach is out of order. For the cure of ordi-
nary stomach troubles, there is nothing
quite so prompt and satisfactory as Cham
berlain's Tablets. They strengthen the
stomach and enable it to perform its
functions naturally. Give them a trial.
They only cost a quarter.

Recommends Chamberlain Tablets

"Chamberlain's Tablets have been used
by my husband and myself off and on for
the past five years. When my husband
goes away from home he always takes a
bottle of them along with him. Whenever
l have that heavy feeling after eating, or
feel dull and played out. take one or two
Of Chamberlain's Tablets and they fix me
up fine" writes Mrs. Newton Vreeland.
Minoa, N. Y. Take these tablets when
troubled with constipation or indigestion
and they will do you good.
