CALONIEL SALIVATES
AND IOOSENS TEETH
Tho Very Next Dose of This Treacll.
erOus Drug May Start Trouble.

You know what calomel is. It's
mercury; quicksilver. Calomel is
dangerous. 1t crashes into sour bile
like dynamite, cramping and sicken-
Ing you. Calomel attacks the bones
and should never be put into your
system.
If you feel bilious, headachy, con-
stipated and all knocked out, just 60
to your druggist and get bottle Of
Dodson's Liver Tone for a few cents,
which Is harmless substitute for
dangerous calomel. Take 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.
Don't take calomel! 1t makes yon
sick the next day; it loses you a
days work. Dodson's Liver Tone
straightens you right up and you feel
great. No salts necessary. Gi, it to
the children because 1t Is perfectly
harmless and cannot salivate.-adv.

SUGGESTS A PLAN
For Cutting Taxes-County Should
be the Tax Unit.
(Pee-Dee Advocate.)

(Pee-Dee Advocate.)
Mr.. Editor: 1t has about reached
the point where
When man has built barn,
Go and tax him;
When he has cleared another farm,
Go and tax him!
When he lays another roof,
When he grows another hoof,
Hustle round and get the proof
Then go and tax him!
Has a man a pot of money?
Don't tax him!
Though 1t Is sweet like honey,
Don't tax him!
Let him reap what others SOW
People are rather fools, you know
If they were not, they would go
AND TAX HIM!

Another Cure for "Flu."

New York, Feb. 3.-Here Is an
other cure for the "flu." Health
Commissioner Copeland says:
"Remain for half an hour in water
as hot as you can stand 1t. The wa
ter should be kept running so that
the heat can be maintained. While
In the tub drink about a quart OF
lemonade, SO hot that you will have
to sip it slowly. Dry off we'll and
get to bed between blankets. Remain
there for an hour. The perspiration
Will then have ceased. Get up and
sponge off with cold water to close
the pores, and get back in bed, this
time between Sheets"

Benjamin Harrison that Okla
homn was opened up. Good farm
land available under the Home
stead Act was difficult to find
so the United States bought from
the Indians. who had been segre-
gated In Indian territory. a large
tract Of some 10000 square miles
that had been used largely by
the Indians as pasture for their
cattle and horses. This was
called Oklahoma, word mean

all over the country to obtain
farms or places for business. On
the stroke of the hour, bugles
sounded and the mad rush by
men, women and children to To-
cate claims began. The govern
ment had arranged land officers
Mt many places at which claims
could be fled for the farms or
city lots, and all that day these
we're beslcged by fighting mobs
to register their selections. Be-
fore nightfall hundreds of farms
were staked out and Oklahoma
City and Guthrie were we'll on
their way to become cities.
Thus was developed this re-
gion which came into the pos
session Of the United States as
q part of the Louisiana Purchase
In 1903 and which was set aside
for SO many years as Indian
country. Previous to the forma-
tion Of Oklahoma territory, con-
gress had forbidden white set
tiers In this part Of the country.
and this edict was enforced by
federal troops. AS the demand
for more land was felt and as the
Indians decreased In numbers.
Indian territory was added to
Oklahoma territory, and In 1907
1t was admitted to the Union as
the State OF Oklahoma, adding
another star to our flag, which
for eleven years had contained
