Calomel Today! Sick Tomorrow! I Guarantee Dodson’s Liver Tone Don 7 J t'alie nasty, dangerous calomel wKen Bilious, constipated, headachy, [Listen to mej, 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.

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 LIVER DIDN’T ACT DIGESTjON WAS GAD Sty* 65 yetr Old Kentucky Lady, Who Tells How She Was Relieved After a Few Dose* of Black-Draught Meadorsvllle, Ky.—Mrs. Cynthia Higginbotham, of this town, says: “At my age, which is 65, the liver does not act so well as when young. A few years ago, my stomach was all out of fix. I was constipated, my liver didn’t act. My digestion was bad, and it took so little to upset me. My ap petite was gone. I was very weak...

If you take calomel today you’ll be sick and nauseated tomorrow; bo sides, it may salivate you, while if you take Dodson’s Liver Tone you will wake up feeling great, full of ambition and ready for work or play.

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.

Answers to be called out when 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.
