GAINS ELEVEN POUNDS
Regains His Health Taking Tanlac and
Can Now Do as Much Work as
He Ever Could In His Life,
He Says.
“It’s ■worth thousands of doll rs to
fool like I do now. since Tanlac has
taken awav the trouble that kept me
In misery for the last twenty years."
said M. B. Daniel, a well-known farmer
living on Route 2 out of Abbeville,
Georgia, a few days ago.
“Whenever a man suffers as long as
I did, he gets to the place where he
feels like he’s no more good In this
world,” he continued, "and thnt’s Just
the way I had begun to feel. Long
ago I got so weak I couldn’t carry on
my work, for spells of stomach trouble
and nervousness Just made It torture
for me to eut and the trouble I had
wouldn't let me sleep at all. My heart
would flutter and act queer until I
was afraid It would stop and I got so
blue and discouraged thnt I felt like
I didn’t much care If It did.
“I'd been well-enough satisfied just
to have my sufferings relieved, but
that’s not all Tanlac has done for
me—I have gained eleven pounds In
weight—since I started taking It. I
can eat as hearty a meal as If I had
never had stomach trouble at all and
my strength has come back so I can
do as much work In a day as I ever
could. I Just feel like a new man all
over and will be glad to tell anybody
Just what this wonderful medicine has
done for me.”

Tulk about records! Here’s one that
apparently has every recorded record
beaten to a frawle.
Think of It—ocean to ocean In half

We might possibly have believed It If
our national defense board had an-
nounced the Invention of some new
and wonderful 100-mlle-a-mlnute ulr-
pluue—but on a bicycle—never.
But it’s a fact. On August 2 Ed-
ward G. Armlnger and two other young
meu covered the distance in twelve
hours on bicycles—and what s more,
they did It partly on railroad ties and
loose gravel mads—and. of course. It s
the first time It’s ever been done.
Well, come on! What’s the answer?
If you must know, here It Is. They

Stop using calomel! It makes you
aick. Don’t lose a day’s work. If you
feel lazy, sluggish, bilious or consti-

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 la when you feel that aw-
ful nausea and cramping. If you feel
"ail knocked out” M your liver is tor-
pid and bowels constipated or you
have headache, dizziness, coated
tongue. If breath Is bad or stomach
sour Just try a spoonful of harmless
Dodson’s Liver Tone.
Here’s my guarantee—Go to any
drug store or dealer and get a 50-cent
bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone. Take a
spoonful and If It doesn't straighten
you right up and make you feel fine
and vigorous I want you to go back to
the store and get ycflir money- Dod-
son's Liver Tone Is destroying tbe
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.
I 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.

Profit From Wheat
564.924 Cattle Dipped By State.
J. N. Roach of Atoka was sworn In
as a member of Ihe state board of
agriculture last week. He was ap-
pointed a month ago io succeed C. B.
Campbell. J. J. Savage of Hollis was
choBen treasurer of the board, the po-
sition which waB held by Mr. Camp
bell.
Reports from the livestock division
and Ihe dairy department were made
today. The dipping and inspection of
564.924 bead of cattle was reported by
the livestock division In August. The
livestock inspected for slaughter in-
cluded 1,630 head of catUe, 1,571 hogs
and twenty-five sheep.
Pittsburg county led in tick eradica-
tion work with 75,400 cattle dipped,
while Pontotoc county was second
with 62.257.
The dairy department reported 522
dairy cows at tubercuun-lested in Au-
gust, bringing the total to 27,091. Re-
ceipts from ihe oleomargarine tax In
August totalled $1,167. Forty-one
highgrade registered dairy cattle
were shipped into the state last mouth.
August Fire Lost Biggest Record.
A loss of $1,116,613.58 by fires in
Oklahoma in August Is shown by the
report of C. C. Hammonds, state fire
marshal. This is the greatest loss re-
ported for any month since the estab-
lishment of the fire marshal s office
and the first time the fire loss has
passed the million-dollar mark.
By far the greater part of the loss
was caused by lightning striking oil
^nira The loss In the oil fields last
month as shown by the compilation is
$901,658.05. One of the big fires of the
month was the loss of $62,231.18 on the

The Weir’s devastation of
European crops has caused
an unusual demand for grain
from the American Conti-
nent. The people of the world must

offers great profits to the farmer.

especially attractive. She wants
settlers to make money and happy,

helping her rare immense wheat crops.

Station Cases Argued.
Two cases in which appeals from
tbe decision of the state corporation
commission were taken in the order-

argued before the supreme court. In
one the commission ordered the
Frisco to build a new station at Miami
of non-oombuslible material. It was
asserted by attorneys for the Frisco
that a new station would cost $40,009
and that by an addition the present
station would be made adequate.
The Frisco was ordered to build a
brick station at Walter in the other
appealed case. The Frisco asserted it
would cost $10,000 to construct a sta
tion of brick, while a frame building,
suitable to meet the needs of the town,
could be built for $5,000.

Just think ! You can lift
off any corn or callus
without pain or soreness.
A Cincinnati man discov-
ered this ether compound
and mimed it freezone. Any
druggist will sell a tiny bot-
tle of freezone, like here
shown, for very little cost.
You apply a few drops di-
rectly upon a tender corn
or callus. Instantly the
soreness disappears, then
shortly you will find the
corn or callus so loose that
you cun lift it right off.
Freezone is wonderful. It
dries Instnutly. It doesn’t
eat away the corn or cal-
lus, but shrivels it up with-
out even Irritating the sur-
rounding skin.
Hnrd, soft or corns be-
tween the toes, ns well as
painful calluses, lift right
off. There is no pain be-
fore or afterwards. If your druggist
hasn’t freezone, tell him to order a
small bottle for you from his whole-
sale drug house.—adv.
