Your doctor prefers calomel above
all other midicenes, as it is the best

Now that calomel is . delightful to
take, everybody is asking for the
new variety, Calotabs. One tablet at
bedtime, a swallow of water that's
all. No nausea, no griping, ho dan

system purified. Eat what you please
no restriction of habit or diet.
Calotabs are sold only in original,

CountT-JFood Administrator Parham
Is on the Right Road.
Editor Public Ledger:
I was somewhat amused at a short
squib I saw in the Public Ledger last
week in reference to Mr. B. W. Par
ham, food administrator of Granville
county, being in favor of suppressing
the muncing of chewing gum . and
the daubing of powder on the face.
You will notice that as a general
thing that those who are late at
church use considerable more pow
der than those who are on time.
One must admit that the' painting
of the face isn't always a nice ex
hibition. The wor?k, for the most
part, is badly done. The technique
is immature and hasty. There are
depressing suggestions of a futuris
tic tendency in the present aspects
of the art of face painting. The vo
gue for this sort of thing, now at its
height, is, of course, regrettable. It
is sure to pass. But it might be
more profitable to consider its im
pulse and origins.
Obviously, the artist in self-painting
wishes merely to be beautiful.
Now, to wish to be beautiful is not
to be wicked. " A very gifted 1 man,
with two or three hours for discourse
might be .able to prove conclusively!
that the girls who carry handbags
full of paint and lipsticks and such
savage accouterments are merely .
trying to do with defective means ,
what any good-looking blossom does j
when it turns upward a glowing face ,
to brighten a gray world. :
Girls and women are more beauti
ful- without paint and powder. But j
you must not tell them this. They j
believe nothing that they do not
think out" for themselves. It is their
fate and their misfortune to learn
only by experience.
Mr. Parham is on me right road.
i If he can stop the munching of chew
ing gum in public he will have ac
complished wonders.
OLD TIMES.
Save The Old Iron.
(Indiana Farmer.)
The prices of iron and steel are
such that it will pay farmers to re
trieve all the metal from their junk
piles and sell it. Around nearly every
farm there is considerable scrap iron,
left from discarded machinery and
wornout farming implements. This is
useless as it is but if gathered up
and sold it will reach the channels
of trade and be melted up and made
into new machienry and thus become
useful again. When the rush work
of harvest is over, take a day and
collect the old scrap iron. Then call
in the local junk man or haul it to
town yourself to the dealer who han
dles this class of junk. Besides real
izing some extra cash, the premises
will look better.
Notice

Druggists
Price Advance
For over a year now we
have succeeded in main
taining Qur old prices,
principally by virtue of a
big - increase in sales,
which reduced our over
head cost.
For our fiscal year end
ing July 1, 1918, our
sales amounted to over a
million dollars an in
crease of 58 per cent, ov
er the nreceding year.
We had hoped to bridge
the war period without a
change in prices on

but we find that our ocon

SUBSTITUTE
FOR NASTY CALOMEI;
Starts Your Liver Without Making
You Sick and Can Not Salivate
v Every druggist in town your
druggist and everybody's druggist
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 re
sults," said a prominent local drug
gist. Dodson's Liver Tone is person
ally guaranteed by every druggist
who sells it. A large oottie costs
little, and if it fails to give easy re
lief in every case of liver sluggish
ness and constipation, you have only
to ask for your money back.
Dodson's Liver Tone is a pleasant
tasteing, purely vegetable remedy,
harmless to both children and adults.
Take a spoonful at night --and wake
up feeling fine; no biliousness; sick
headache, acid stomach or constipa
ted bowels. It doesn't gripe or cause
inconvenience all the next day like
violent calomel. Take a dose of cal
omel today and tomorrow you will
feel weak, sick and nauseated. Don't
lose a day's work! Take Dodson's
Liver Tone instead and feel fine, full
of vigor and ambition.
