SWAT THE FLY
“The fly is a serious menace
to every family that harbors
it” stated Dr. H. O. Sapping-
ton state health officer, who
urges citizens of the state to
use every means possible in
exterminating this filthy, dis-
ease carrying insect.
“The finding of sanitary
science have conclusively pro-
ven that the fly is an enemy
to mankind. A creature of
filth, he craw'ls from one
loathsome object to another,
covering his hairy legs with
disease germs which if given
an opportunity he transfers to
exposed food on table or side-
board and the baby’s face,
hands and milk bottle.
“Some of the diseases ilie
germs of which he most com-
monly spreads are typhoid fe-
ver, dysentery, enteritis and
infantile diarrhea. Being a pro-
lific breeder one fly can pro-
pagate millions of the species
during a single season. Start
your fly extermination cam-
paign early in order to keep
breeding at a minimum.
Fritz Sokol left Wednesday

SAFFRON SKIN FROM SOUR
BILE
South Georgian Drives Out
Enormous Quantity Sour Bile
With Dodson’s Liver Tone
After a long period of the
worst form of weakness and
the terrible feeling of sickness
I that comes from a system load
ed with sour bile. Mr. Sam
Puckett says: “When I kept
getting those bilious attacks
reckon I took enough calomel
j to kill a mule. Got worse all
I the time. Finally I turned saf-
I fron color all over. My wife
I happened to read about Dod-
i son’s Liver Tone in the Week-
i ly Constitution, so we drove to
'own and got a bottle. It was
like magic. It drove quarts of
sour biles out of me as black
as ink. From that day I have
feb as if 1 had a new liver,
and whenever T begin to feel
weary and bilious, with no
appetite a dose of Dodson’s
Liver Tone puts me to rights.”
This wonderful quick-action
liver starter ought to be in
*very household if for no o'hei
reason than to stop ihe use
of Calomel. Dodsoon’s Livci
To» e is pleasant to take, even
for fh’ldren and never make
vo" sick.
Dodson’. Liver Tone is per-
sonally guaranteed by ever\
druggist who s,.]|s it. A large
botMe costs f lit a few cents
and if it fails to give easy
relief in every case of liver
sluggishness arid constipation
you have only to ask for you;
money back.
