CALOMEL WHEN BIDS? 1S10P!
KB LIKE BYNAMITE (III LIB
I Guarantee "Dodson's Liver Tone" Will Give You the Best Liver
and Bowel Cleansing You Ever Had—Doesn't Make You Sickl
Stop using calomel! It makes you
ilck. Don't lose a day's work. If you
feel lazy, sluggish, bilious or consti-
pated, listen to me!
Calomel is mercury or quicksilver
which causes necrosis of the bones.
Calomel, when It comes Into contact
with sour bile, crashes Into it, breaking
It up. This is when you feel that aw-
ful nausea and cramping. If you feel
"all knocked out," if your liver 1b tor-
pid and bowels constipated or you
have headache, dizziness, coated
tongue, if breath is bad or stomach
«our just try a spoonful of harmless
Dodson's Liver Tone.
Here's my guarantee—Go to any
4rug store or dealer and get a 60-cent
bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone. Take a
spoonful and if it doesn't straighten
you right up and make you feel line
and vigorous 1 want you to go back to
the store and get your money. Dod-
son's Liver Tone is destroying the
sale of calomel because It is real liver
medicine; entirely vegetable, therefore
it cannot salivate or make you sick.
I guarantee that one spoonful of
Dodson's Liver Tone will put your
sluggish liver to work and clean your
bowels of that sour bile and consti-
pated waste which is clogging your
system and making you feel miserable,
1 guarantee that a bottle of Dodson's
Liver Tone will keep your entire fam-
ily feeling fine for months. Give it to
your children. It is harmless; doesn't
gripe and they like its pleasant taste.

ARE YOUR KIDNEYS WEAK!
Thousands of Men and Women Have Kidney
Trouble and Never Suspect It.
a««MP
I The Old Order
Changeth
Nature warns you when the track of
health is not clear. Kidney and bladder
troubles cause many annoying symptoms
tnd great inconvenience both day and
•ight.
Unhealthy kidneys may cause lumbago,
rheumatism, catarrh of the bladder, pain
or dull ache in the back, joints or mus-
cles, at times have headache or indiges-
tion, as time passes you may hare a sal-
low complexion, puffy or dark circles
under the eyes, sometimes feel as though
you had heart trouble, may have plentv
of ambition but no strength, get weai
and lose flesh.
If such conditions are permitted to
continue, serious results may be expect-
ed; Kidney Trouble in its very worst
form may steal upon you.
Prevalency of Kidney Disease.
Most people do not realize the alarm-
ing increase and remarkable prevalcney
of kidney disease. While kidney dis-
orders are among the most common dis-
eases that prevail, they are almost the
last recognized by patients, who usually
content themselves with doctoring the
effects, while the original disease may
constantly undermine the system.
If you feel that your kidneys are the
cause of your sickness or run down con-
dition, try taking Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-
Hoot, the famous kidney, liver and blad-
der remedy, because as soon as your kid-
neys improve, they will help the other
organs to health.
If you are already convinced that
Swamp-Root is what you need, you can
purchase the regular fifty-cent and one-
dollar size bottles at all drug stores.
Don't make any mistake but remember
the name. Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Hoot,
and the address, Binghamton, N. Y., which
you will find on every bottle.
SPECIAL NOTE—You may obtain a sample size bottle of Swamp-Root by enclosing
ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y. This gives you the opportunity
to prove the remarkable merit of this medicine. They will also send you a book of
valuable information, containing many of the thousands of grateful letters received
from men and women who say they found Swamp-Root to be just the remedy needed
in kidney, liver and bladder troubles. The value and success of Swamp-Hoot are so
well known that our readers are advised to send for a sample size bottle. Address Dr.
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y. When writing be sure and mention this paper.
Sold for 47 years. For
Malaria, Chills & Fever.

Strengthening Tonic.

FIFTEEN minutes of twelve!
A brief quarter of an hour Inter
anil nil the town bells would he
madly ringing; the factory whis-
tles would he tooting; horns would
shrill raucously; the restless crowds
surging aimlessly through the streets
would raise voices in the hysterical
pandemonium that customarily wakes
the dying year into extinction.
"Then," said Myrtle the telephone
girl to herself, "then my busy time

friends on the wire to yell 'llnp'.iy

beg your pardon . . . 4111."
"Why don't you listen as you're paid
to do?" growled back a man's voice
over the wire. Ills articulation was
thick, hoarse. Evidently lie was labor-
ing under some tremendous strain.
However it is not for the mere tele-
phone operator to resent, whatever her
provocation.
"4111, thank you," said Myrtle in
the same pleasantly modulated tone as
before and made the proper connec-
tion. But not even then being certain

Raise High Priced Wheat
on Fertile Canadian Soil
Canada extends to you a hearty invita-
tion to settle on her FREE Homestead
lands of 160 acres each or secure some
of the low priced lands in Manitoba,
Saskatchewan and Alberta. This year wheat ia higher but
Canadian land ju t a cheap, so the opportunity is more at-
tractive than ever. Canada wants you to help feed the world
by tilling some of her fertile soil — land .imilar to that which
during many years ha. averaged 20 to 45 bu.hel. of wheat
to the acre. Think of the money you can make with wheat
around $2 a bu.hel and land so easy to get. Wonderful
yields also of Oat., Barley and Flax. Mixed farming
in Western Canada is as profitable an indu.try a.
grain growing.
The Government this year Is asking farmers to put in-
creased acreage into grain. Military service is not com-
pulsory in Canada t>ut there is a great demand for farm
r to replace the rcanyyoung men who have volun-
teered for service. The climate is healthful and agreeable.

that slu> hud" correctly understood the
man's thick directions, she cut In on
the line to listen for a moment and so
forestall further complaints from liio.
With the receiver clumped tight to
her ear she could hear the 'phone hell
buzzing faintly across the city—in a
house, Myrtle Judged, because the Itiv-
erview exchange lay ir. the aristocratic
residential section. Buzz—Buzz-zz—z!
Then came a woman's voice—soft,
sweet and low.
"Hello . . . Oh, is that you, Jim? I
had gotten quite anxious about you. I
expected you home to dinner tonight.
You promised, you know. . . . And
'Scookuins' was so disappointed when
I had to tuck him in bed without kiss-
ing Ids papa good night. He was so
excited by all the noise <n the streets
and kept asking me if his bud daddy
wouldn't come home curly to liiin on
New Year's eve. I really think you
might have, Jitn, because—"
"Oh, I know! I know!" interrupted
the man's voice impatiently, although
he evidently was making a strong ef-
fort to conceal his distraught condition
from li^r. "Business detained ine at
the office Inter than I anticipated Ed-
na, and afterwards . . . afterwards
Harry Forbes dropped In and we went
out for a bite to eat together."
"But you'll be home right away now,
won't you, dear?" pleaded the woman's
voice coaxingly. "I'lease don't stay
any later. I've promised 'Snookums'
that you'll he home to wish him a Hap-
py New Year while the whistles are
still blowing."
"I can't possibly make it now . . .
there's a big deal we're talking over."
"Jim"—reproachfully — "I thought
you assured me you never would dab-
ble in the market again after that last
time when you risked all we had In the
world simply on the chance of making
a few dollars without really earning
It." *■
"Edna, I—I—"
"Jim, your very voice sounds queer-
ly. Nothing has gone wrong at the of-
fice there today, has there, dear?"
"No . . . No, nothing," came the
man's voice wearily, soothingly. "Don't
worry now ... No **' any more. Ex-
cuse me If I spoke shtt-ply, little girl.
I'm tired out—that's all . . . Y'es, yes
. . . Good-by, dearest one."
The receiver clicked sharply and the
listening Myrtle experienced a sense of
physical relief, the exact reason for
which she would have been at a loss
to explain. How strangely the man
had Intoned his good-bye—almost as
if ho never expected to be able to say
it again to the wife he loved. It was
as if—
"l'es, number please . . . Oh—"
It was the voice of the same man
speaking crossly over the wire.
"Get ine Grant 6212—quick!" he
growled. "I'm in a hurry."
She plugged the proper hole con-
necting him and listened for a mo-
ment.
"Hello! Grant 6212? the Morgue?
Well, this is James P. Thornton talk- I
lug. Y'es, J AM E S Thornton of J. |
P. Thornton, Inc. I'm about to com- j
mlt suicide in my ofliee at 1478 Stock
Exchange building. If you'll send your
men over here within 15 minutes
they'll find my body here . . . Door's
unlocked, ready for you. Statement
for the newspapers will lie found on
desk. I've Just completed it. . . . Was
smashed in collapse of market on the
board floor this afternoon . . . No,
that's—and then, ironically — all . . .
Happy New Year!"
His receiver clicked down on the
hook, severing the connection In the
midst of horrified abjurations from the
iither end of the wire. Simultaneously
Myrtle, the telephone girl, Jerked the
metal loop from her head and sprang
down the aisle, disregarding the sur-
prised exclamations of her fellows and
the Imperative call of the supervisor.
She grabbed her hat and shabby little
Jacket from their peg on the locker-
room wall as she fled.
A suicide? ... he was about to die
by his own hand . . . And with that
sweet-voiced wife waiting for him
there at home with the dear little kid-
die tucked up in bed and crying for his
daddy's good-night kiss ! It was wrong
—all wrong! ... To stop him! Ah.
If only she could get there in time!
There was a chance—a slim chance,
for It happened that the Stock Ex- i
change was directly next door to the ;
big gray telephone building.
Fortunately the night elevator man ]
had his car waiting there on the main
floor, while he leaned against the siilii
of the cage gossiping with one of tliq
scrub women. Myrtle bounded ill, star, j
tling both nearly out of their wits. |
"Quick!" she punted, seizing his arm
with tense fingers, "The fourteenth
floor . . . Not an Instant to spare!"
"But It's against rules to let you pi I
up there at this unholy time of nlglil j
unless you've got a permit," expostiu
lated the bewildered elevator mail
"You can't—"
Myrtle drove the motive lever hoim
herself and the iron cage shot swiftly
upwhrds before the man could stop j
her. It wns a sickening breathless rise
... Ah ! the fourteenth floor at Inst I
Precious moments wasted fumbling
with the mechanism of the elevntoi j
door . . . Then through it and out . .
the staccato clatter of little high heels
racing down the long dim, empty cor-
ridor to where a blotch of light showed
through the transom of Suite 1-17X.
For a brief second Myrtle's heart j
suspended its pulsation and she hesi-
tated with her trembling hand out-
stretched to turn the knob. What II
she should find—should find him ab
ready the victim of his own mad act—
j lying there on the richly-carpeted flooi
of the sumptuously furnished office^
I with a pool of blood slowly coagulating
| around the bullet hole in his temple.
If—
But Myrtle, the telephone girl, wait-
ed to conjecture no longer. She threw
her weight against the unlocked door
It gave suddenly and precipitated hei
inwards coincidently with her frenzied
cry of:
"STOP!"
The roan sitting at the long mating,
any desk with the ugly revolver al-
ready in his hand half started to his
feet, his face ashen; stared at thim
most unexpected intruder, bulge-eyed,
He seemed unable to collect his
thoughts; only passed his hand over
his mouth two or three times, mutter-
ing in a half-witted way: "Who . . ,
who . . . what . . ."
Then be toppled suddenly and fell
flat on his face to the floor.
"Dead!" groaned Myrtle, horror,
stricken, dropping to her knees liesida
the (nominate form.
"Naw!" grunted the elevator man,
who just then Joined her. "He's fainted
—that's all, kid. Better go git me a
wet rag to sop Ids face with. That'll
bring him 'round in a jiffy."
But Myrtle was already seated at
the adjacent telephone, calling tho
number she so well remembered:
"Y'es, yes, operator . . . That's it,
Itivervlew 4111. . . . Hello! . . . hel-
lo! Is this Mrs. Thornton talking? . . .
No, you don't know me, but that
doesn't matter. You hurry and wake
up 'Snookums;' put on all his things
and hurry down here to Mr. Thorn-
ton's ofliee. He needs you . , . Asked
me to call you up. . . . Says lie wants
to begin a Happy New Year with you
and the baby right down here. . . .
You'll come right away . . . All right,
thank you ... Y'es, I'll wait here too—"
And just then a deafening racket of
horns, whistles and bells burst forth,
while hundreds of little white lights
began to flash here and there along
their great switchboard in the nearby
telephone exchange, and the girls'
hands flew to the connections. And, as
James Thornton slowly revived under
the tender, solicitous ministrations of
the 'phone girl and the grimy elevator
man, a white light illumined his soul
also.
"Where's 'Snookums?'" he queried
weakly.
What would lie give
for the coffee you serve?
Like a million other wom-
en, you can serve coffee that
he would give most anything
to have—coffee which starts
the day "right" for all.
Everyone loves the rich
flavor of Arbuckles' Coffee.
Of all the coffees in America
today, it is by far the most
popular!
One woman says: My
husband used to swallow his
coffee and hurry off. Now we
have Arbuckles' and you'd
think it was Sunday the way
helingers over his breakfast."
Until you try Arbuckles'
you will never know what
a difference good coffee can
make in your home.
Today there are whole towns where Arb-jckles'
is practically the only coffee used. In one State,
alone, in a year, four pounds of Arbuckles' Coffee
was used for every man, woman and child in the
State—four times as many pounds of coffee as the
population of the State! Arbuckle Bros., New York.
Some people are so eccentric that
they even say something when they
talk.
