Acts Like Dynamite on a Sluggish
Liver and You Lose a Day's
Work
There's no reason why a person
should take sickening, salivating cal
omel when 50 cents buys a large bot
tle of Dodson's Liver Tone a per
fect substitute for calomel.
It is a pleasant, vegetable liquid
which will start your liver just as
surely as calomel, but it doesn't
make, you sick and cannot salivate.
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 bones.
Take a dose of nasty calomel today
and you will feel weak, sick and nau
seated tomorrow. Don't lose a day's
Work. Take a spoonful of Dodson's
Liver Tone instead and you will wake
up feeling great. No more bilious
ness, constipation, sluggishness, head
ache, coated tongue or sour stomach.
Your druggist says if you don't find
Dodson's Liver Tone acts better than
horrible calomel your money is wait
ing for you.
J. G. Hall reccommends Dodson's
Liver Tone to take the place of calo
mel, adv.
As the result of a protest from
Gaston county, the corporation com

Other protesting counties will now
get busy and the corporation commis

ed from the best ones over the old
method of going to the barn and se
lecting the largest ear. ' ;
The matter of seed selection in the
field is very simple and every farmer
should give the matter due attention
by going Xo the corn field or seed
paten oeipre tne corn is harvested.
Selection should be made from the
best and most prolific stalks. The
stalk should be large, flatfish land big
enough to stand up during a storm,
but should not be too tall. The leaves
should be long and broad. The stalk
should bear two or more ears. The
seed should not be selected ; from
ionally rich soil or under exception
ally good conditions as this is not the
average and the seed will not respond
with the same yield. The stalks se
lected should be growing on land of
average fertility, under average con
ditions but which produce more than
the stalks araound them. The seed
thus obtained will show an inherited
tendency towards a higher yield. The
ears should not be too high on the
stalk about 2y2 feet being the best
height.
