Things To Forget
If you see a tall fellow ahead
of a crowd, a leader of iueA,
marching fearless and proud,
and you know of a tale wlios
mere telling aloud would cause
|iis proud head in anguish to
l>e bowed, it's a pretty good
plan to forget it
If you know of a skeleton
hidden away in a closet, and
guarded, and kept from the
day, in the dark; and whose
showing, whose sudden display
would cause gtief and sorrow
and life-long dismay, i t s a
pietty good plau to forget it.
If you know of a thing that
will darken the joy of a man
or a woman, a girl or a boy,
that will wipe out a smile, or
the le:;st way annoy a fellow,
or cause any gladness to cloy,
it's a pretty good plau to for
get it.—Selected.
Regarding School Land Sales
Austin, Texas/May 22.—
Commissioner of the General
Land Office J. T. Robisou
gave out the following state-
ment today:
"Today I have sent to the
printer the copy of the list of
school land that will begin to
come 011 the market in July.
It is hoped to have the list
ready for distribution during
the last half of June. Re-
quests coming in for the list
now will be held unanswered
until the list is received from
the printer.
•'As the copy goes to the
printer it contains 3.769,281
acres. Some of :t is on the
market now, and must be sold
on condition of three years'
residence.
"This land is in the ex-
treme jwestern monn ainous
counties.
"Much will ccme on the
market on certain dates stated
in the list of interest should
not be paid. The land that
is subject toforfeiture for notv
payment of interest clue t
[November 1, 1913, except that
which was sold on condition
[of settlement between Janu-
ary 1, 1913, is placed on the
I list,^and such of it as may
1 not be paid 011 by 10 a. 111.
August 10, will b e
for sale to the one who offers
the most, not less than the
price fixed in the list.
"Applications will be by
sealed bids. The list will
contain full information. Own-
ers of the delirquent tracts
are paying their interest rap-
idly now."

—
Transferred: to. Hugo, Oklahoma
Rev. W. W. Armstrong,
formerly pastor of the Meth-
odist church of Alto, was a
passenger on the Cotton Belt
last evening on his return from
Oklahoma City, where he at-
tended the general conference
and also spent several days in
Hugo to which point he was
recently transferred by the
bishop as pastor of one of the
two Methodist churches, Mr.
Armstrong did not approve
of the exchange, but being
under the authority of the
bishop, he submitted to it.
His business into Alto is to
pack up his effects and wind
up other matters of business
before taking up his new
work. His successor has not
been appointed, but will be a
voting minister who is now in
Southwestern University.—

Many Are Glad Over Liver
Tone
Former Sufferers From Consti-
pation Now Improved
Without Taking Un-
pleasant Cal-
omel
Many, many thousands of
people who former!}' suffered
from constipation are delighed
with the relief brought them
b y taking Dodson's Liver
Tone instead pt dissagreeable
and often dangerous calomel.
Calomel is a poison, a form
of mercury, dangerous to many
people and causing unpleas-
ant after-effects for nearly
everyone who tries it.
Dodson's Liver Tone is rec
comeuded as a perfectly safe
and reliable remedy to take
the place of calomel. This is
exactly what it is made for and
has been made for ever since
the first bottle was put up and
sold. It is widely imitated.
So be cartful to get the ori-
ginal.
Dodson's Liver Tone is sold
and guaranteed by J. F. Alien
who will refund purchase price
(50c.) instantly with a smile
if you arc in any way dissatis-
fied.
Dodson's Liver Tone is a
p i 1 a'able vegetable-! i q u 1 d.
It's action is easy and natural,
with no gripe, 110 pain and the
after-effects are agreeable.
Dodson's Liver Tone does not
inteifere with your regular
duties, habits and diet, and
builds and strenghtens instead
of weakning you or "knock-
ing you all out" for days, as
calomel and strong purgatives
so often do. Dodson's may do
for you what it has for all
these other happy thousands
of people.
