COUGHED FIFTEEN YEARS
Coughs that hang on and grow
worse in the night are relieved by

the throat. Foley’s Honey and Tar

SANITATION AND PELLAGRA
The latest scientific research has
developed the fact that the disease
of pellagra is due entirely to unsan-
itary conditions, and not to an un
balanced diet. It has been decided
j by the doctors who are studying pel
lagra closely that the disease is also
infectious. The thorough cleaning of
all premises and the inauguration of
sanitary measures alone will prevent
the spread of the dread malady.—
Laurens Citizen.

CALOMEL? HORRIBLE!
Calomel is Quicksilver and
Acts Like Dynamite on
Your Liver.
Calomel loses you a day! You
know what calomel is. It’s mercury,
quick-silver. Calomel is dangerous.
It crashes into sour bile like dyna
mite, cramping and sickening you.
Calomel attacks the bones and should
never be put into your system.
When you feel bilious, sluggish,
constipated and all knocked out and
believe you need a dose of danger
ous calomel just remember that your
druggist sells for 50 cents a large
bottle of Dodson’s Liver Tone,
which is entirely vegetable and
pleasant to take and is a perfect sub
stitute for calomel.lt is guaranteed
to start your liver without stirring
you up inside, and can not salivate.
Don’t take calomel! It make# you
sick the next day; it loses you a
day’s work. Dodson’s Liver Tone
straightens you right up and you
feel great. Give it to the children
because it is perfectly harmless and
doesn’t gripe. advt

BIG SHORTAGE FREIGHT
CARS IS REPORTED
The extent of the freight car
shortage arising from the high tide
of business prosperity, is a report
received by the Georgia Railroad
Commission from the American Rail
way Association, New York.
From a surplusage of 9,762 cars
on August 1, the railroads were con
fronted with a shortage of 108,010
on November 1, according to the re
port. This situation is regarded by
railroad men as remarkable, in view
of the fact that during the eight
years from July, 1907, to July, 1916,
there was an increase of from 1,991,-
557 cars to 2,447,178 in operation
on American lines.
The shortage has become serious
since September 1, when there was a
demand for 19,873 cars more than
the railroads could furnish. Thirty
days afterward the shortage was
60,697.
The report shows that for a pe
riod covering nearly eight years
there has been a surplusage except
for a month in 1909, three months
in 1912, a month in 1913 and March
of this year. In 1908 there was a
surplusage of more than4l3,ooo
cars, and at no time during the year
were there less than 100,000 idle
cars. The surplusage became so
great that in October, 1914, the
American Railway Association stop
ped compiling the figures until Feb
ruary, 1915.
