ACTS ON THE LIVER
_
Dodson’s Liver Tone Livens Up
the Liver—Is more Thar,
a Mere Laxative.
Calomel was for years the on
ly known medicine that would
stimulate the liver. But calomel
is often dangerous, and people
are not to be blamed for being
afraid of it.
Within the last few years
many medicines have been put
out to be used instead of calo
mel, but their effect is on the
bowels—not on the liver. Walk
er’s Pharmacy says that the
only real liver medicine to actu
ally take place of calomel is
Dodson’s Liver Tone, a mild,
harmless, vegetable liquid that
j Walker’s Pharmacy recommend
ed to take the pacle of calomel
and which gives prompt relief
in cases of constipation, bilious
ness and sluggish liver.
So confident is Walker’s Phar
macy that they give their per
sonal guarantee with every 50c
bottle of Dodson’s Liver Tone.
You can be sure that you are
getting Dodson’s by asking at
this store if they are giving you
the medicine they are personally
guaranteeing to refund the mon
ey on is unsatisfactory. (adv.)

| COOK WHO WORKS 3Y GUESS
| She Is a Genius, but Is Not Often
Found in These Decadent
Days.
“I'd give a dollar," said the man
who coddles his stomach, “to find
a cook who doesn't measure. She
would gladden my soul. The cook
who does things by guess is a rare
bird nowadays. She has genius, else
\ she could not dispense with the cast*
! iror. rules that regulate modern cook
ery, and geniuses are seldom indigen
ous to the flathouse kitchen.
“But there used to be plenty of
them. Why, I remember the time
when half the kitchens in the land
gloried in a guesswork cook. It
did a fellow’s eyes and his entire
Internal organization good to watch
her. She would take a pinch of this,
a handful of that, and a dash of some
thing else, and mix them all togeth
er, and the result would be the most
delectable tidbit that a fellow ever
put in his mouth.
"Lord, Lord, but eating was a
pleasure In those days. It isn't so
now. In these whirligig times every
thing has a machine-made tast
That’s because the cooks measure s
much. Instead of trusting to In
spiration, as the heaven-born cook
is bound to do, the kitchen queens of
today measure ev- n the salt they put
in the porridge. No wonder such
cookery lacks individuality, and is all
on the same dead level of mediocrity.
Merciful heaven, what alls these bis
cuit? They’re as heavy as lead.”
“Possibly the cook made a mis
take,” said the man’s wife. “I got a
new cook yesterday—one that cooks
by guess. I am afraid she didn’t
put enough baking powder in *he bia
cults.”

the change in the calendar from
old style to new came after his birth
at Boston on January 6, 1706, accord
ing to the reformed almanac he waa
born on January 17. In 1759 Franklin
was In England as agent for the
colony of Pennsylvania. Previous to
this, though little known, it was main
ly by the advice of Franklin that the
English government rest , ed to con
quer Canada, and for that purpose
sent out Wolfe's expedition. It was
In 1759 that Franklin made a journey
from London to Scotland, of which
In a letter written to a Scotch friend,
he used these words which have ever
endeared him to the Scot: ‘‘I think
the time we spent there was six
weeks of the densest happiness I have
ever met with in any part of my
life, and the agreeable and instructive
society we found there in such plenty
has left so pleasing an impression on
my memory that, did not strong con
nections draw me eleswhere, I believe
Scotland would be the country 1

Gospel of Courage.
Ralph Waldo Trine stated his beliel
thus in Harper’s Bazar:
“To get up, each morning deter
mined to be happy, determined to be
master of the events of the day in
stead of being mastered by them; tc
take anew this attitude of mind whei
the doleful thought presents Itself oi
the bogy-man attempts to show hli
face; to look always on the brighi
side of things, determined to stand al
ways In the sunshine rather than li
the shadow—this it is that maket
life with Its dally round and lti
knotty problems continually easier
Th's hopeful, optimistic, courage-al
way, tp attitude of mind and bean
is to set Into operation subtle, alien
forces that are continually worklnj
•long the lines we are going and tha
opens the way tor us to arrive.”

ALL WASTE NERVOUS ENERGY
Everywhere People Squander Their
Force Needlessly Instead of Care
fully Husbanding It.
People s' mild be as careful of their
nervous energy as of their money,
says an English writer. Yet we all
waste it. At the telephone people talk
twice as loudly and energetically as Is
necessary. That Is to say, they use
, up twice as much nerve energy as
iliey need. Three-fourths of thoee
who have to catch trains every morn
ing spend as much nervous force In :
one day as should last a week.
Then. In the streets, watch how peo
ple Jost.e and push, and what a lot
of nerve-force they spend at danger
oue crossings. Why not walk slowly
when there la obstruction, and wait for
the quiet nnuoment, which always
comes, at the crossing? Everywhere
people hurry without need, getting In
to a state of nervous tension when
leaving theaters, boarding omnibuses,
grdng to lunch, and especially when
leaviug for a holiday
