Says Calomel
Salivates and
Loosens Teeth
The Very Next Dose of this
!
Treacherous Drug may
Start Trouble
You know what calomel is. It’s mer
cury; quicksilver. C alomel is dangerous,
It crashes into sour bile like dynamite,
cramping and sickening you. Calomel
attacks the hones and should never be
put into your system.
If you feel bilious, headachy, consti
pated and all knocked out, just go to
your druggist and get a bottle of Dod
son’s Liver Tone for a few cents which
is a harmless vegetable substitute for
dangerous calomel. Take a spoonful and
if it doesn’t start your liver and
straighten you up better and quicker
than nasty calomel and without making
you sick, you just go back and get your
money.
Don’t take calomel! It makes you
sick the next day; it loses you a day’s
work. Dodson’s Liver Tone'straightens
you right up and you feel great. No !
salts necessary. Give it to the children
because it is perfectly harmless and can
not salivate.
Quick Relief
All the suffering in
the world won’t cure
disease. Pain makes
most diseases worse
and sometimes brings
on still further dis
orders.
Stop the pain and
give nature a chance to
work a cure.

SERVICEABLE BREEDING RACK
Useful Device When Bull Becomes
Heavy Is Not Difficult to Build
—Must Be Braced.
A bull that is a good individual and
that has excellent breeding hack of
him should be kept in service at least
until bis daughters come In milk. If
he transmits his breeding to his
daughters he should be kept in service
until he Is no longer useful. To fol
low this plan it is necessary to ex
change hulls with other breeders and
In most cases It will be necessary to
use a breeding rack after the bull be
comes too heavy. It Is too often the
case that the breeding value of a good
bull Is not discovered until he is dead.
A very serviceable breeding raA
can be made as follows: Take two
planks 2 by 12 by 9 feet long and
place them on a level foundation for
the floor of the breeding rack. These
planks should be placed one and one

half feet apart in the front part of
the rack and two feet In the rear, in
side measurements. Each side of the
breeding rack has three posts made of
the same material as the floor which
are four feet high in front and one
and one-half feet In the wear. The
posts are nailed to the floor and a
plank 2 by 12 by 9 feet long is nailed
on the top of the posts. Two-inch
strips are nailed across the top of the
breeding rack at intervals of ten
inches to prevent the bull from slip
ping.
The breeding rack must be well
braced with 2 by 4’s as indicated In
tlie diagram. Four pieces 1 by 6
are nailed across the front end to
prevent it from spreading. A 2 by 4
is nailed across the floor plank just
back of the middle posts. A stanchion
Is placed in the front end of the
breeding rack which is so constructed
that it can be moved backward or
forward. —The Prairie Farmer.
TESTS DETECT REMADE MILK
Necessary That Some Method Be De
vised That Natural Product Be
Distinguished.
(Prepared by tbp l T nlt«J State* Department
of Agriculture.)
The increased use of remade milk
and cream —that is, milk and cream
made from powdered or condensed
milk and sweet-cream butter —has
made necessary some method by which
they may be distinguished from the
natural products. Such a test has been
devised by chemists of the United
States Department of Agriculture, and
it Is now possible to detect as little as
10 per cent of remade milk in a mix
ture with natural pasteurized milk. If
milk powder has been used in making
the mixture, the amount that can he
detected will depend on the degree of
heat used in its manufacture.
The test for both milk and cream !q
based upon the color produced when !
the washed curd made from them is
dissolved in sodium hydroxide. When
this curd solution has stood for sev
eral hours a characteristic yellow
color develops in the samples taken
from remade milk and cream or mix
tures containing them; samples of the
natural products or only slight mix
tures do not show It.
Remade milk and cream are whole
some foods If made properly from
good, natural milk, but should be sold j
for what they are. and this test makes I
it possible for food officials to deter
mine whether or not the consumer is
being deceived.
TAKE RIGHT CARE OF CREAM
During Hot Weather It Should Re.
ceive More Attention—Cool Soon
as Possible.
During hot weather cream must re
ceive better care on the average farm.
As soon after separating as possible,
cool the cream by setting the can in
cold water. Never mix the fresh
warm cream with the cream from pre
vious separation until cooled as low
as possible. Do not keep cream too
long at the farm. Send it to the
creamery or take it to the cream sta
tion at least twice a week, and threß
times a week when the weather gets
hot. Poor, stale cream will not make
good butter. If the creamery cannot
make good butter the average price of
cream will be lower than if good tvut
ter can be made.
Bacteria Furnish Nitrogen.
Sweet clover, like most legumes, de
pends largely for its nitrogen on the
work of bacteria that live In nodules
on the roots of the plant. While it is
not always necessary to inoculate the
seed with this bacteria it is always
advisable.
Tomato Wilt Carried.
Tomato wilt is carried In the
plants and the disease Is very often
scattered by this means; therefore

A Newspaper’s
Two Sources of
Revenue
> *
SUBSCRIPTIONS AND ADVERTISING ARE THE
ONLY TWO SOURCES OF REVENUE A NEWSPAPER
HAS, AND OFTEN THE SUBSCRIPTIONS DO NOT PAY
THE COST OF THE WHITE PAPER.
Advertising today, especially in newspapers, is the great
est business getter there is. This is acknowledged by men
who know. People read advertisements in newspapers, for
they have been educated to do so. Every merchant in our
town ought to advertise. You remember this story about
John Wannamaker? The first day he was in business his
receipts were $24.64. He kept the 64 cents and spent the $24
the next day for advertising. We can’t all duplicate this feat,
but according to the best statistics available three per cent of
the gross sales should be put aside for advertising.;
Possibly you will say, “I don’t need to advertise. I’ve
been in this town thirty years and everybody knows me.”
Probably they do, but did you ever stop to think of the
sales you lose because your fellow competitor advertises?
He may advertise the same goods you have in your stock,
hut people don’t know you have them. The other fellow
gets the sale because he advertises. And then, how much
more business would you do if you did advertise?
We know of one merchant who advertised a lot of goods
at 19 cents a yard. They cost him 27 cents. He took a
clean loss, but while the sale was going on he could buy new
goods at 12 cents. He put them in with the other goods and
the result was that he cleaned his shelves of the old goods
and he broke even on the deal. Advertising and good buy
ing liquidated his stock without a loss.
We can’t all be John Wannamakers, but we all can adver
tise in proportion to our business. Results will be sure if
you advertise honestly and give service. A newspaper can
bring people to your store, but it can’t make people buy your
goods. Your clerk must do that, and it depends on the serv
ice you give as to how successful your business will be.
What is done in the big cities can be done right here in
Lyons if you will show the “pep,” give the service and adver
tise. Make business good —you can do it through this news
paper. Try it and see.
