Wearing Glasses In Childhood
often averts serious trouble
later on. Our examinations
for children will reveal defects
if any. Bring or send your
child if it shows signs of imper
fect vision. If no defect, there
will be no glasses. For any
age, let us take care of your
optical needs.

Calomel is a
Dangerous Drug
Next Dose may Salivate You,
Loosen Teeth or Start
Rheumatism
Calomel is mercury; quicksilver. It
crashes into sour bile like dynamite,
cramping and sickening you. Calomel
attacks the bones 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.
Danger!
When your heart
flutters, and palpitates,
when you’re short of
breath and dizzy, when
you have smothering
spells and faint spells,
look out for your heart!

THE GREATEST MENACE
No doubt our people are interested
in the amount of work that is being
put into the control of venereal dis
ease, as it represents 25% of the en
tire number of contagious and infec
tious diseases of our state. The State
Board of Health is well satisfied with
what has been accomplished, but not
content. The army figures show the
lowest rate in 25 years. The reduc
tion in brain syphilis at the insane hsy
ium last year was 4 1-2%, which hap
pens to be the sum of SIO,OOO saving
to our taxpayers, and is the amount
of the appropriation made for the en
tire department.

Just what has been done. Study it for
a few minutes.
Arsphenamine mentioned is the tech
nical name for what is commonly
known as 606. The average price of
this drug is $1.65 per dose to the
druggist, making a valuation of this
drug distributed by the State Board
Df Health $14,988.60.
The Wassermanns mentioned mean
that an examination of 10,560 speci
mens of blood has been made in the
laboratory. No reputable laboratory
will make such examinations for less
han $5 each, or $53,800. This is the
test for syphilis.
The smears mentioned refer to
3iriears of mucous or pus made on a
glass slide by the physician and ex
amined for the germ that causes gon
orrhoea, 2,122 of which were made, and
they are $2 each by all laboratories, or
14 244,
This gives us a total valuation of
$73,032.60 of work done and 606 fur
nished the people o' - oiir state with an
appropriation of SIO,OOO. How much of
Buffering, anxiety and health have been
conserved you can imagine.

WHAT’S THE
WHEN Columbus and his caravels returned
from the New World, the first question
shouted from the shore was, “What’s the news?”
i
That’s always the question of paramount import
-1 ance. Years ago folks asked it of the post rider, |
i the soldier returned from the wars, the man who |
had been down to settlements, or the neighbor 1
back from general store. I
Todays you find the answer in your newspaper*
Through the newspaper the news of the world and
of the community" quickly becomes public knowl
edge. And remember this—it takes two kinds of
news to make a modern paper complete.
The first tells of happenings near and far—of fires,
sports, elections, accident, marriages, deaths, great
men, great events.
The second tells of things you eat, wear and use---
things you buy, things being sold to your friends
and neighbors. This news is advertising.
It’s just as important to keep up-to-date on the ad
vertising in this paper as it is to read about whats
doing in the world of events.
Advertising is an essential
news service. It is dis
tinctly to your ad
vantage to be guided by it.
