r What is CASTORIA
Castoria Is a harmless substitute for Castor Oil, Paregoric,
Drops and Soothing Syrups. It is pleasant. It contains
neither Opium, Morphine nor other narcotic substance. Its
age is its guarantee. For more than thirty years it has
been in constant use for the relief of Constipation, Flatulency,
Wind Colic and Diarrhoea; allaying Feverish ness arising
therefrom, and by regulating the Stomach and Bowels, aids
the assimilation of Food; giving healthy and natural sleep.

A woman went into a pel More

and was shown several promising
specimens by the proprietor.
"I like the looks of ihis one"
s.iid the prospective customer,
designating a certain bird, "but
aie you quite sure ili.u he is a
talker?"
"Oh, yes, madam," was the
prompt assurance of the proprie

"Some of them are very disap
pointing," continued the customer.
"Will you guarantee him to talk a
lot?"
"I surely will," answered the
proprietor. "The lady who last
owned him sold him because she
couldn't get a word in edgewise."

THE CANE MILLS
Cane with cloyi'ia juices bending
To the I'robl brnwned hills invitfs;
Smoke's from cam: mill tires ascending
While the Folks picnic ai nighis;
Old and young the cine uro stripping
In the mornings fresh und still;
And at evening dripping, dripping,
Shines the syrup at the mill.
Men and boys all day are (oiling.
Farmers all from happy homes,
And in many a "bouom".boiling,
Well.-done syrup froths and foams.
"Grindin' of the Cane" they call it
At the mill there near the road;
From the fields afar they haul it,
Well, it's sweetness by the load!
'Tis the South so warm and sunny
Where they're grinding now the cane.
Syrup sweet as any honey
Into barrels old they strain.
Corn's full ripe and cotton's gleaming,
Waves of whiteness on the hills;
But the golden sorghum steaming,
That is what the watcher thrills !
Just at dusk, to watch the cooking,
Come the girls from near and far;
Ai his girl each fellow's looking,
Bright to him as any star!
And she slyly, shyly glances
Back with drooping, dreamy eyes,
Where her heart dream dances dances
In her joy of sweet surmise.
So from cane juice into candy
Is but just a little while;
And to pull it comes so handy
In the love-light of her smile !

There's no reason why a person
should take sickening, sulivatiii); cal
omel when a few ttuts buys a large
bottle of Dmlson's Liver Tone a
perfect substitute for calomel.
It is a pleasant, vegetable liquid
which will start your liver just an
surely as calomel, but it doesn't
make you sick and can not ailivate.
Children and grown folks can take
Dodson's Liver Tone, because it is
perfectly harmless.
Calomel is a dangerous drug. It
is mercury and attacks your hones.
Take a dose of nasty calomel ln.hu
and you will feel weak, sick and
nauseated tomorrow. Don't lose u
day's work. Take a spoonful o(
Hudson's Liver Tone instead mid
ymi will wake up feeling great. Mo
