CALOMEL GOOD
BUT TREACHEROUS
Next Dose May Salivate, Shock
Liver or Attack Your
Bones
You know what calomel is. It's
mercury; quicksilver. Calomel is
dangerous. 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,
constipated.and all knocked out,
just go to your druggist aud get a
bottle of Dodsou’s Liver Tone for
a few cents which is a harmless
vegetable substitute for daugerous
calomel. Take a spoonful and if
it doesn’t start your liver and
straighten you up better and
quicker than nasty calomel and

WILL BREAK RECORDS
The Oeutral of Georgia Railway’s
•estimate of the Georgia peach crop
this year, which will gc to the gen¬
eral offices in Savaunah today,
will show that there will be ap
prux mately 9,000 cars of peaches
originating on the Central lines,
unless something uu'orseen hap"
pens
This w u’d indicate, from past
records, expirts say that the total
peach crop in Georgia this year
will be between 11,500 and 12,000
cars. The previous high record
was a little more than 10,400 cars.
This will be the first estimate of
the season by the Central of Geor¬
gia Railway and will be followed
by other estimates every two weeks
uutil the season closes. The sur¬
veys will show the expected yie’d,
condition of the crop and what the
growers were doing.
'* The indications are that Geor¬
gia will have the best crop iu the
history of the peach industry,” said
W. E- Stewart, assistant freight
agent, yesterday afternoon. Grow
ers baye-TTakVXi more pains with
their orchards and they are doing
more to produce a perfect peach
for the consumer than ever before.
“The care that has been taken
iu the orchards and the standard¬
ization that has beeu *arranged by
the Georgia Peach Growers ex
change, iu co-operation with the
Government aud state marketing
agencies insures the buyers that
they will get a better grade of
peaches.”
J. G. Carlisle, general manager
of the Georgia Peach Growers’
Exchange, said last uight that it
will be another week before the ex¬
change will make its estimate of
the probable yield. He said that
the crop is heavy during the latter
part of the month and may reduce
the crop considerably.
The first crate shipments of
of May-flowers have been made
by express. Carlot shipments o7
that variety will begin during this
week. The May flower crop is
light. It will be the middle of
June before shipping is heavy,
according to present indications.

TOKIO GIVES
AMERICAN FLYERS
ROYAL WELCOME
Tokio, Japan— Tokio took the
American fliers to its heart Satur¬
day. A welcome unsurpassed in
cordiality and enthusiau was ac¬
corded the three aviators who are
circumnavigating the globe by
plane, and the mechanicians,
A crowd of thousands shouted
“banzais” as they surged about the
platform at the railroad station
where the three Americans arrived
from Kasumigaura, where Japa¬
nese navy mechanics were remod¬
eling the round the world planes
and preparing them for the jumps
on south and west to Kushimoto,
Kagoshima aud across to Shan¬
ghai in China. Lieutenaut Gene¬
ral Gaishi Nagoaka, president of
Imperial Aviation Association,
greeted the fliers, addressiug them
as “heroes of the air”.
General Nagoaka’s small grand¬
daughter then presented Lieuten¬
ant, Lowell H. Smith, commander
of the flight, with a bouquet and
made him a brief and pretty speech
in English, welcoming him to
Tokio in a tiny, shrill childish
voice.
The Americans showed they
were greatly affected by the warm¬
th of the greetiug accorded them
From the station the little group
of guests went to the American em
bassy to make an official call on
Ambassador Cyrus N. Woods and
present tbeir respects.
Then the Americans made calls
on the ministers of war aud navy
after which they were guests at the
first function in their honor here,

Ugaki at which both General Ug
aki and Ambassador Woods were
speakers.

Cramping Spells
“th< 0 R MORE THAN a YEAR I had been in a
JU very bad condition,” says Mrs. R. E. Kimbrell,
of Route 1, Dorchester, Texas. "I suffered
with cramping spells which gave me bad pains in
my back and sides. Sometimes I would have to
catch at something, I would get so suddenly dizzy.
... I had to quit doing my work. I tried many reme¬
dies, but none of them seemed to do me any good.
“In April I went up to Arkansas to visit my sister. . . .
She said to me, ‘Willie, if you are going to take anything,
take Cardui. It will really help you.’ I came home and told
my doctor what she had said and he said I could not take any
better tonic, so my husband immediately got me a bottle and
I began it . . . My case was a pretty tough one, I know, so
I kept on faithfully. After the fourth bottle, I began to feel
very much better, so much so that I was surprised at myself.
I have taken six bottles now and I can truly say I feel like a
different woman. ... I feel fine and I owe it all to Cardui,
which I took faithfully.”
