Calomel Today! Sick Tomorrow!

Calomel salivates! It’s mercury.
Calomel acts like dynamite on a
sluggish liver. When calomel comes
into contact with sour bile it crashes
into it,causing cramping-and nausea.
If you feel bilious, headachy, con
stipated and all knocked out, just go
to your druggist and get a bottle of
Dodson’s Liver Tone for*a few cents
which is a harmless vegetable sub
stitute for dangerous calomel. Take

We think our County Commission
er is buying too much unnecessary
machinery. We think it time to make
a change for the betterment of the
taxpayers.
We think it best to sell stockade
and build one on County Farm.
We think it advisable to grow veg
etables to supply the convicts, in
stead of buying them.
Believing it would be to the bene
fit of both counties and especially
Butts county if a free bridge was
constructed across the Ocmulgee
river, we recommend that the County
Commissioner of Butts county take
up with the Jasper county commis
sioner the question of building a
bridge across the river and, if satis
factory arrangements can be made
with Jasper county commissioners,
that a free bridge bebuilt.
Our body takes this opportunity to
commend to the voters of Butts coun
ty our able and distinguished presid
ing officer, Judge W. E. H. Searcy,
Jr. He is now serving the unexpired
term of the lamented Judge Robert
T. Daniel, and we recommend him to
the voters of the Flint circuit as a
candidate for the full term. Judge
Searcy has demonstrated his ability
as a fair and impartial jurist, and has
won a warm place in the affections of
the people through his stand for law
and order and law enforcement. We
unqualifiedly endorse him as worthy
of the support of the entire people
for the full term of four years, and
believe that his election, without op
position, wuld be a merited tribute
to an official who always tries to do
the right thing as he sees it.
We tender our sincere thanks to
our able Solicitor General, Hon. E.
M. Owen, for valuable service render
ed this body.
We recommend that The Progress-
Argus be paid the sum of $15.00 for

FIRST GAS MASKS MADE BY
ENGLISH AND FRENCH WOMEN
The use of gas in warfare dates
back to about 400 B. C. The Spartans
saturated wood with pitch and sul
phur and burned under the walls of
cities which they were attacking. For
several centuries gas has not been
used in warfare, and the Hague con
i vention definitely ruled against it.
i However, on April 22, 1915, the
Germans liberated great clouds of
gas against Canadian troops near
Ypres. Terrible destruction and de
morilization resulted fro mthis first
gas attack, and within a week Eng
land was making plans for gas war
fare against the Germans.
Soon after the first German gas at
tack English and French wo
men sent to the front hun
dreds of thousands of home
made gas masks. P'or the most
part they were merely bandages im
pregnated with chemicals to wrap
around the mouth and nose. These
emergency masks saved many lives,
but afforded only limited protection.

LOOK AT YOUR TONGUE!
IS IT BROAD, WHITE, FLABBY?
-YOUR BLOOD NEEUS ZIRON!
When Your Tongue Is White and Flabby, It Is a Sign
That You Are Anemic and That Your Blood
Needs Ziron Iron Tonic, For the Benefit
of Your Weakened System.
Look at your tongue in the mirror!
It ought to be pointed, pink, clean and firm.
If it Is broad, white, coated, flabby, It is probably a sign that you are
anemic, that your blood lacks red corpuscles, that you are not in good health,
that your system needs iron to bring it up to proper condition.
When your blood needs iron, take Ziron, the new Iron Tonic, which con*
tains also the hypophosphites of lime and soda and other valuable tonic ingre
dients prescribed by the beet physicians for this form of trouble.
When you feel tired and miserable, lack ambition, suffer from Indigestion,
rheumatic pains, gastric catarrh, depression of spirits and a general feeling
Of being “under the weather”, why not try Ziron to help you back to health?
Ziron, the new compound of Iron, contains no habit-forming drugs. It is
a safe, reliable tonic remedy—good for men, women and children.
Mr. It. L. Poston, of Lillie, La., writes: “Some weeks ago I was suffering
with something like dumb chills. I just ached all over, my skin would feel
clammy. I ached worse from my knees dow r n. I didn’t rest well nights, and
my appetite wasn’t good. I was afraid I would get down in bed and so much
to do in the Spring of the year. I began to look around for something
to help me and decided to try Ziron...l had not taken one third of a bottle
until I felt much better. I grew stronger, began to get hungry and did not
have any more of the chills. I think Ziron Is a splendid tonic.”
SPECIAL OFFER: Buy a bottle of ZIRON, today, at your druggist’s
and give it a fair trial, according to directions on the bottle. If, after using
up one bottle, you find it has not benefited you, take the empty bottle back
to the druggist and he will refund what you paid him for it. We repay him,
fo there is no reason why he should not repay you. This offer only applies
the first trial bottle. (ZA£
