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. W. E. WALKER, Jr. Optometrist' VIDALIA, GEORGIA 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! DR.

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.

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.

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.
