I Guarantee Dodson’s Liver Tone
Don’t take nastj^, dangerous calomel when bilious,

liver.
If you are bilious, feel lazy, slug
gish and all knocked out, if your bow

vating calomel. Dodson’s Liver Tone

up feeling fine, your liver will be work
ing, your headache and dizziness gone,
your stomach will be sweet and bow
els regular. You will feel like work
ing. You’ll be cheerful; full of vigor
and ambition.
Your dniggist or dealer sells you a
bottle of Dodson’s Liver Tone for a
few cents under ray personal guaran
tee that it will clean your sluggish
liver bettor than nasty calomel; it
won't make you sick and you can eat

each .spoonful will start your liver,
clean your bowels and straighten you
up by morning or you get your money
back. Children gladly take Dodson's
Liver Tone because It is pleasant tast
ing and doesn't gripe or cramp or
make them sick.
I am selling millions of bottles of
Dodson’s Liver Tone to people who
have found that this pleasant, vege

dangerous calomel. Buy one bottle on

At this time of the year people feel
weak, tired, listless, their blood Is thin,
they have lived Indoors .and perhaps
expended all their mental and bodily
energy and they waut to know how to
renew their energy and stamina, over
come headaches and backaches, have
clear eyes, a smooth, ruddy skin, and
feel the exhilaration of real good health
tingling thru their body. Good, pure,
rich, red blood is the best insurance
against ills of all kinds, Almost all
diseases come from impure and impov
erished blood. It is to be noticed in the
pale or r^mply fa,ce, the tired, haggard
appearance or the listless manner.

when he returned home he found his
molher anxiously waiting for him.
“I hope, .Timmy,” .said the mother,
after listening lo sundry details of
the affair, ’’that you remembered to
wash your hand.s before you went to
the table.”
"We were called in so quickly,” an
swered Jimmy, “that I didn’t have
liiiH‘ to wash but one.”
"Wash but one?” exclaimed his
mother, with much concern. ‘‘What

“Why, I ate with that one,” was

formod in my stomach and I could
hardly get my breath for the tight,
-smothering feeling. This lump, or
whatever it wa.s, ached constantly. 1

not stand it any longer. I know, in my

We had one doctor, he said ‘Indiges

It did not seem to help me any. We
had another docterr. He said it was
‘neuralgia of the stomach.’ 1 took his
medicine, still there was th.at aching

might be a decayed tooth, and advised
me to have my leeth drawn, which 1
did. I didn’t get any better.

a sample of Black-Draught. I had been
unusually restless. I took the sample

KEEPING HENS TO
AID FOOD SUPPLY
Poultry Constitutes Military Re
source Not to Be Ignored
in War Times.
MORE CHICKENS ARE NEEDED
What 100 Fowls on Every Farm In
United States Would Mean to Na
tion’s Food Stock—War
Emergency Program.
(Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
There should be 100 hens on every
farm In the United States. We should
obtii'n 100 eggs from every hen. With
approximately 6,000,000 farms, that
would mean 600,000,000 hens and 80,-
000,000,000 egg.s per year. That num
ber of eggs constitutes a military re
source not to be ignored.
One hundred hens on every farm Is
not a particularly big contract. There
is hardly a farm in the United States
but could support that number of hens
practically on its waste materials and
without materially added cost. One
hundred hens to a farm is considerably
less than the average number of hens
to a farm in many of the better poul
try-producing sections of the country.
It is an average that could as easily be
maintained In the sections of the
country where the average per farm is
now lower than 100 hens. One hun
dred eggs from every hen, while far
below what could be obtained with
proper encouragement of fowls, is
considerably more than the average
egg production the country over.
These t-wo Items are the basis of the
war emergency poultry program for
1918. The carrying out of that pro
gram Is en important part of the war
ugainst barbaric Uoraination.
Two causes combine to bring the ne
cessity for a special effort to secure
the raising of more poultry this year.
One Is that the %%'ar needs of the nation
make larger average stocks of produc
tive poultry important. The other is
that the number of fowls on farms has,
from a multiplicity of causes, been re
duced during the past year.
A succession of sharp advances in
prices of poultry feeds in 1917 and
uncertainties in supplies of feeds, be-
BARBERRY PLANT IS
A MENACE TO WHEAT
THINKING MORE ABOUT DEATH ’
War's Effect on the Minds of English
men Is Declared to Have Been
Extraordinary.
Spreader of Stem Rust Should Be
Cut and Destroyed.
Principal Factor in Reducing Yield ot
Wheat Alone in North and South
Dakota and Montana by Mil
lions of Bushels.
The common barberry Is a direct
spreader of black stem rust, a terri
ble scourge of wheat, oats, barley and
rye in the spring-wheat districts. Com-
moi! barberry on lawns _/ind in hedges
in cities and suburbs, ns well as on
farms, throughout these dl.strtcts is
a fearful thorn In the side of the
wheat r.aiser. The presence of this
shrub in your yard may mean that
your county or district produces less
bread to feed the nation and the al
lies. While the farmers are being
urged to take every cultural and pro
tective measure to prevent rusting of
their fiold.s, owners' of city yards and
In England the effect of religious
thought ot three years and u half of
war has been extraordinary. The re
vival of religious fervor, in many in
stances the direct result of personal
loss by death or fear of impending
loss, has reflected Itself in English
literature.
The most astonishing of all recent
conversions Is that of H. G. Wells,
hard-headed and yet tender-hearted
Sociall.st, who now writes of religion
as if It were a discovery of his own.
Another writer wlio has been led
by the war in faith in a life beyond
the grave Is Sir Oliver Lodge, whose
book, “Raymond,” dealing with the
comiininicatioiis said to have been re
ceived from Ills son, is one of the
phenoinena of present-day literature.
The war is making the world think
intently about death and what conies
after and, in consequence, is urging
them to establl.sh a closer relation dur
ing life with the eternal.—Exchange.

cause of congested transportation,
caused many poultry keepers to cur
tail production or reduce stocks on
hand. As was inevitable under the
circumstances, the sections of the East
where poultry keeping was most high
ly specialized were most affected.
Shortage of feed in drought-stricken
areas in the West and Southwest also'
led to reduction of poultry stocks on
general farms in those areas.
Elsewhere flocks appear to have
been maintained at about normal num
bers, and in some places slightly in
creased. Reports of heavy selling In
sections where feed Is sufficient have
in many cases failed to take into ac
count the disposition of the stock sold.
It has usually been assumed that all
stock sold went to slaughter. Some
reports, however, state that many hens
and pullets sold by poultry keepers
who were short of feed or of capital
passed to others who were in a posi
tion to hold them. The volume of re
ceipts of eggs at certain markets
seems to bear out this statement.

estates are called upon to help by

er of stem rust. j
How serious the black rust is to the;
bread supply of the nation may be
judged from the fact that this disease,
was the principal factor in reducing'
the yield of wheat alone In North Da
kota, South Dakota. Montana and Min- '
nesota by nearly 200,000.000 bushels in
1916. j
The common barberry bush (Ber- '
beris vulgaris), including the purple-!
leaved variety, nurses the black stem
rust through one of Its stages, helps
It develop, and enables it to spread
to the grains in the .spring and early
summer. The most direct method of
attacking this rust is to keep common
barberry bushes out of wheat-growing
regions.' [

of barberry elsewhere. The question
will be Investigated in all grain-grow

didn't seem to help me. The pains

I felt as if my back were broken.
My nerves were a wreck and the
pains shot up from my back into
