CALOMELJSJHiSAFE
Local Druggist Who Sells Dodson’s
Liver Tone Buarantees it to Take
the Place of Calomel
If your liver is not working just
right, you do not need to take a
chance on getting knocked all out by
a dose of calomel. Go to J. F. An-
thony, Ravenna, Texas, pay 50 cents
for a large bottle. You will get a
harmless vegetable remedy that will
start your liver without violence, and
if it does not give complete satisfac-
tion the' druggist will refund your
money with a smiie..
If you buy -a bottle of Dodson’s
Liver Tone for yourself or your chil-
dren, you have insured your family re-
lief from attacks of constipation,
biliousness, lazy liver and headache.
It is as beneficial and sale for chil-
dren as adults. A bottle of Dodson’s
Liver Tone is something every man or
woman should keep in the house
Tour money is safe because you can
return the bottle if it fails to satisfy
No: Six-Sixty-Six
Thia it a prescription prepared especially
jor MALARIA or CHILLS A FEVER.
Five or six doses will break any case, and
f taken then as a tonic the Fever will not
return. It acta on the liver better than
Calomel and (toe* not gripe or sicken. 25c

Cement Roads, Cheaper Auto Tires
and Reprinted Newspapers.
Boston.—Tbomas A. Edison was asked
what in his opinion would be the next
Improvement in automobiling. He re-
plied: “Cement roads. I believe that
In ten years cement roads will band
the country from one end to the other
to the exclusion of all other kinds.”
Mr. Edison does not believe there is
need of a substitute for rubber for
tires. He said: “Rubber trees are be-
ing planted in the tropical countries.
A vast amount of capitals going into
rubber tree farms. Eventually tbera
will be a great influx of rubbef har-
vested from them. I am told by manu-
facturers of automobiles that rubber
should be cheaper today than a year
ago. They expect rubber to go down.”
Asked what improvements could be
expected In newspaper making in the
next decade, he replied: “Something
to save paper. If noncarbonized inks
were used—inks that would bleach-
papers could be run through the press-
es again by the aid of an invention or
two and be used several times. It’s
bound to come to a proposition of this
kind. Inks that will bleach will be
used.”

MISS WILSON INTERCEDES.
Has a Postoffice Rule Waived to Please
a Little Blind Girl.
Washington.—The little blind daugh-
ter of Mail Carrier Sherry at Mandale,
O., may ride with her father over his
rural free delivery route, although a
postofflee regulation expressly forbids
it, because Miss Jessie Wilson, the
president’s second daughter, interced-
ed for the child and got Postmaster
General Burleson to issue a special
permit
Jessie Columbia, thirteen years old.
of Cleveland, spent her vacation this
year with her grandfather, the post-
master at Mandale and saw the blind
girl’s plight. She wrote Miss Wilson
of how' little Miss* Sherry longed to
ride on her father’s mail cart, and an
appeal to the postmaster general was
followed by an order waiving in this
case the regulation which forbids that
any one but a carrier shall ride on a
mail wagon.
BIG VICTORY FOR
LOVERS OF BIRDS
Democratic Caucus In Senate
Restores Protection.
Washington.—Action of the Demo-
cratic caucus in the United States sen-
ate, in voting to withdraw the amend-
ment previously adopted to the bird
protecting clause of the tariff bill, and
to restore the measure as it was *vpt-
ten by the house committee, is taken
by those who have been waging J the
fight against the “feather trade” ds a
certain and complete Victory for the
friends of wild bird life.
The new tarifL bill will prohibit the
importation of wild birds’ plumage
for commercial purposes* no matter
from what country they come, and
will abolish in the United States and
all its territorial possessions the traffic
In. skins and feathers of slaughtered
wild birds. Among the senators who
worked in behalf of this measure are
Senators McLean, Chamberlain, Lane,
who made an aggressive stand in the
caucus fight of Tuesday; O’Gorman,
Hitchcock, John Sharp Williams, Gore,
Bryan, Bacon, Shively and others.
This campaign was inaugurated and
managed by the New York Zoological
society And National Association of
Audubon Societies. Immediately it
attracted the support of national and
Btate federations of women’s clubs,
the State Audubon societies, many
patriotic societies of women, the Wo-
men’s League For Animals and other
organizations and free lance leaders.
The.number of personal letters writ-
ten to members of congress in this
campaign was enormous. It is esti-
mated that 100,000 would be under
rather than above the mark. The plan
is now to carry the fight to England,
Germany and France.

Islands, in accordance with foreign

ernment it! permitted to kill a certain
number ot seals and- foxes each sea-
son for the skins. The steamer Homer
makes two trips a year to the islands
to take lri supplies and bring out the
