■working. You'll be cheerful; full of
vigor and ambition.
Your druggist or dealer sells you a
60-cent bottle^>f Dodson's Liver Tone
under my personal guarantee that it
will clean your sluggish liver better
than nasty calomel; it won't make you
sick aiyi you can eat anything you

druggist guarantees that each spoonful
will start your liver, clean your bowels
and straighten you up by morijjng or
you can have-your money bi^k. Chil-
dren gladly take Dodson's Liver Tone

Canada Offers 160 Acres
Free to Farm Hands
Bonus of Western Canada Land to Men Assisting in
Maintaining Needed Grain Production
The demand for farm labor in Canada is*great. As an inducement
to secure the necessary help at once, Canada will give «
•ONE HUNDRED A^D SIXTY ACRES OF
LAND FREE AS A HOMESTEAD
and allow the time of the farm laborer, who has filed on the land, to
apply as* residence duties, the same as if he actually had lived on it.
Another special concession is the reduction of one year in the time
to complete duties. Two years instead of three as heretofore, but
only to men working on the farms for at least six mpnths in 1917.
This appeal for farm help is in no way connected with enlistment
for military service but solely to increase agricultural output. A won-
derful opportunity to secure a farm and draw good wages at the same
time. Canadian Government vviil pay all litre over one cent per
mile from St. Paul or Duluth to Canadian destination. Information
as to low railway rates may be had on application to

Prehistoric Canoe Found.
I A prehistoric canoe has been found
at Loch Kinellan, near Strathpeffer,
and has been presented to the Fort
Augustus museum. The canoe was
dug by its builder—what was he like,
we wonder?—out of the trunk of an
onk tree. It measures 24 feet from
stem to stern, and is 2 feet 6 inches
wide at its broadest part." In the
course of centuries portions of the
buried relic have rotted off, but the
bottom and the curves of bow and
stern are still in good preservation. It
was discovered lying five feet below
the surface.

Healthy Skin Depends
On Kidneys
Tht skins and the tntentlnes, which
work together with the kidneys to
throw out the poisons of the body, do
a part of the work, but a clean body
and a healthy one depends on the kid-
neys. If the kidneys are clogged with
toxic poisons you suffer from stiffness
In the knees In the morning on arising,
your'joints seem "rusty," you may have
rheumatic pains, pain In the back, stiff
neck, headaches, sometimes swollen
feet, or neuralgic pains—all due to the
uric acid or toxic poisons in the blood.
This is the time to go to the nearest
drug store and .simply obtain a 50c.
package of Anurlc (double or triple
strength), the discovery of Dr. Pierce
of Buffalo, N. Y. Then drink a cup of
hot water before meals, with an Anurlc
Tablet, and notice the gratifying re-
sults. You will find Anurlc more active
than lithla.
A Marvelous Herbal Tonic
Oklahoma City, Okla.—"I" was ill
for six months—had five doctors and
all failed. Finally a friend told me
to try Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. The first dose helped me

down town. I recommend Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery as being a

Prepared from nnture's roots and
herbs, it contains no alcohol or narcot-
ic nor any harmful ingredient. Medicine
dealers everywhere have it In tablet
or liquid form.
If not obtainable at your dealer's,
send $1.00 to Dr. Pierce, Invalids' Ho-
tel. Buffalo, N. Y„ and he will mail
large package of the tablets, or send
50 cents for smaller size.

Militia Recruitinfl.
Telegrams have been sunt by Adju-
tant General Ancel Earp to command-
er!) of companies in the Oklahoma na-
tional guard, requeuing them to begin
immediately a recruiting campaign to
bring their organizations to full war
street h
In Oklahoma City, headquarters will
be opened at the adjutant general's
office, in charge of lieutenant Robert
Carle of the Oklahoma national guard.
He win enlist men for Company M, in-
fantry, Troop B, cavalry, and the t^eld
hospital corps, all Oklahoma City or-
ganizations.
At the present time the Oklahoma
regiment has an actual membership
of only 900 men. Full war strength
for an infantry regiment is in the
neighborhood of 2,000 nen . Thus, to
bring the Oklahoma regimer^ to maxi-
mum strength will require 1,100 re-
cruits. Aflutant General Earp stated
however, that all effort will be con-
centrated immediately on bringing
the regiment to minimum strength,
1.^00 men.
While the Oklahoma City units of
the guard aie now recruited to mini-
mum strength, their members ;#r> so
scattered over the stale that it would
be impossible to assemble them quick-
ly in case of war. The local national
guard recruiting station will bend its
efforts toward lillin? Ihese gaps with
local men who will be ready for all
emergencies. *

received by the governor. Appoint-
ments to this department are to ^>e
made by the corporation commission

The general deficiency bill and thr
general appropriation bill also reached
the governor's office.
The governor would make no state-
ment as to the result of replies from
his request for expressions from the
people on the course pursued in veto-
ing appropriations for small educa-
tional institutions, but it is under
stood that 90 percent of those reply-

Governor Still Uses veto.
A campaign of ruthless application
of the veto ax to what he considers
unnecessary appropriations by the re-
cent legislature is being conducted Jsy
Governor Williams. • He has disap-
proved appropriations amounting to
$26,000 and numeAus other items un-
dergoing the closest scrutiny.
One of the items vetoed by the gov-
•riio# was a $25,000 appropriation for
a chair factory at the penitentiary,
ind the other was a $1,000 item for
axpenses of Inmates ot the old sol-
diers' home when traveling.
In both instances the governor ap-
plied the veto because the appropria-
tions were not recommended by the
state board of public affairs in mak-
ng up the budget of these two institu-
tions.
No Hope For Thirsty Ones.
Tho^p who saw a ray of hope in the
late movement to defeat the Ferguson

given up all hope of trying to make
Oklahoma semi-wet, because the fed-

July 1. and will operate to keep liquor
out of the state, regardless of tne
Ferguson act.* The only effect the
state law will have is that it. goes
into effect fifteen days before the fed-
eral law It also will make an addi-
tional thorn in the side of those
caught dealing in liquor.

ion is in line with a recent decision
by the U. S supreme court. The Cot
