In mind la that a neraon'e net Income
la found by n computai on preacrlbed
In tbe law, and that each Item of In

sidered, unless specifically exempted.
Another thing to remember la that

payera by law haa no relation whatever
to the requirement to Die return. This

IF 1 CANUVB.
If I can live
To make some pale face brighter, and to give
A second lusire 10 some tear-dimmed eye,
Or e'en impart
One throb of comfort to an aching heart,
Or cheer some wayworn soul in passing by;
If 1 can lend
A strong arm to the fallen, or defend
The right against a single envious strain,
My life, though bare,
Perhaps of much thai seemeth dear and fair
To us on earth, will not have been in vain,
The purest joy
Most near to heaven, far from earth's alloy,
Is bidding clouds, give way to sun and shine.
If on that day of days the angels tell
Of nie: "She did her best for one of thine."

Every druggist in town your druggist and everybody's drug
gist has noticed a great falling off in the sale of calomel. They
all give the same reason. Dodson's Liver Tone is taking its
place.
"Calomel is dangerous and people know it, while Dodson's
Liver Tone is perfectly safe and gives better results," said a
prominent local druggist.
Take "Dodson's Liver Tone" Instead I
Dodson's Liver Tone i personally
guaranteed by every druggist who
tella it. A large bottle costs but a
few cents, and if it fails to give easy
relief in every caao of liver sluggish
ness and constipation, you have only
to ask for your money back.
Dodson's Liver Tone is a pleasant
iasting. ' purely vegetable remedy,
karmleas to both children and adults.

Why Colds Are Dangerous.
You are often told to "beware oft

cold prepares the system tor the recep

anil whooping cough. The quicker you
get rid nl' vour cold, the lessthcilanirei
of contracting one of the diseases. Cham

reputation as a cure for co'ds and can
be depended upon. It is pleasant to
take.
