So has the next county, and the next State. The condition is Nation-wide. What Can be Done About it? There is no law to conscript labor; the Government can’t create it; ship building and other war ii.dusrries must be speeded to the limit. Shall the cr :t\z\ tail to pro Jure he: share of food? Must the to* i s,;/e; in business b/ the loss of fa.m pros perity at a time when farm products, are so high? Under similar conditions what have other communities done? la many plat-s all business houses h-'■ e closed for a few days at a time in erder that eery town per-on fitted for such work might go to farms in tlie county to help cultivate or har vest the crops. I'Uiy Chami e.rs of Commerce ha e canvassed their towns and counties, listing all men of farm experience, scuring their promise to go when needed and pledging their employers to give them leaves of absence for that patriotic work. Many communities and counties are requiring every loafer and idler to go to work; urging every person engag ed in work that is not of war impor tance to work on near-by farms dur ing rush seasons; organizing high school boys; abandoning the half Sat urday holiday on the farm. County Agents in a number of places have called mass meetings; re sulting in a “county war council,” as it were, composed of leading farmers and business men, organized to secure and utilide emergency town labor far the farms. Some of these methods,.or similar ones, can be applied in every town and countv. United States Relief: U. S. Army Base Hospitals, . — $54,000.00 U. S. Navy Base Hospitals, 32,000.00 U. S.

You reproach me with insensibility to charm; why, 1 open your eyes to that which yon do not perceive, but which is none the less real—the dramatic.” A TEXAS WONDER.

CALOMEL SALIVATES AND MAKES YOU SICK Acts Like a Dynamite on a Sluggish Liver and You Lose a Day’s Work. There’s no reason why a person should take sickening, salivating calomel when a few cents buys a large bottle of Dodson’s Liver Tone—a perfect substitute for calomel. It is pleasant, vegetable liquid which will start your liver just as surely as calomel, but it doesn't make you sick and can not 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 nauseated tomorrow. Don’t lose a day’s work. Take a spoonful of Dod son’s Liver Tone instead and you will wake up feeling great. No more biliousness, constipation, sluggish ness, headache, coaled tongue or sour stomach. Your druggist says if you don’t find Dodson’s Liver Tone acts better than horrible calomel your money is waiting for you. , Mrs. F. M. Jones, of Palmer, Okla., writes: "From the time 1 en tered into womanhood ... 1 looked with dread from one month to the next. 1 suffered with my back and bearing-down pain, until life to me was a misery. I would think 1 could not endure the pain any longer, and I gradually got worse. . . Nothing seemed to help me until, one day, . . . 1 decided to TAKE The Woman’s Tonic “ I lock four bottles,” Airs. Jones goes on to say, "and was not only greatly relieved, but can truthfully say that I have not a pain. . . “ It has now been two years since l tookCardui, and 1 am still in good health. . . 1 would ad vise any woman or girl to use Cardui who is a sufferer from any female trouble.” If you suffer pain caused from womanly trouble, or it you feel the need of a good strengthening tonic to build up y ourrun-do wn system, take the advice of Mrs. Jones. Try Car dui. Jt helped her. We believe it will help you. Ail Druggists DAY OF FASTING AND PRAYER FIXED BY WILSON.

Little Willie’s father was teaching him about plants and said, “A weed Is a thing that grows in a place where it is not wanted.” “Well,” replied lit tle Willie, “then sister is a weed, cause she’s growing here and I don’t want her, for she takes all njj pen- aies.” Women wear high heels which buckle up their toes and they suf fer terribly with corns. Women then proceed to trim these pests, seeking relief, but they hardly realize the terrible danger from in fection, says the Cincinnati au thority. Corns can easily be lifted out with the fingers if you will get front any drug store a quarter of anourice of a drug called freezone. This is sufficient to remove every hard or soft corn or callus from one’s feet. You simply apply a few drops directly upon the ten der, aching corn or callus. The soreness is relieved at once and soon the entire corn or callus, root and all, lifts out without one par ticle of pain. This freezone is a sticky sub stance which dries in a moment. It just shrivels up the corn with out inflaming or even irritating the surrounding tissue or skin. Tell yourwife about this. Almost Incredible Thinness. Ordinary printing paper is some thing more than 1,000 times thicker than the gold leaf that can be made today. For commercial purposes the leaf must, of course, have just a little more substance about it than that, but it is a striking and impressive fact that only about five grains of weight of gold is required to make up the books that are in ordinary use today by gilders, each of the 25 leaves in that book being usually 3!4. inches square.

New Hampshire and Vermont, held at Hartford, Conn.. December 15, 1814. It became odious because its proceedings were carried on in secret, thereby giving color to the charge that some of them were treasonable and because it adopted resolutions protest ing against the war with England.
