Calomel is dangerous. It may salivate you and make you suffer fearfully from soreness of gums, tenderness of jaws and teeth, swollen tongue and exces sive saliva dribbling from the mouth. Don't trust calomel. It is mercury; quicksilver. 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. If you take calomel today you'll be sick and nauseated tomorrow; besides, it may salivate you, while if you take Dodson's Liver Tone you will wake up feeling great., No salts necessary. Give It to the children because it Is per fectly harmless and can not salivate. -Advertiseme.dt. PROVERBS HELD IN COMMON Remarkable Similarity of Ideas Noted Among Nlations,-Both of the Old and New World. The similarity of ideas all over the world is found in the similarity of ex pressions to convey the ideas. The old English proverb "A fool and his money are soon parted," ands its counterpart in the phrase, "There is no medicine for a fooL" But the Japanese also claim that by good management they can do something even with fools, when they say, "Fools and scissors move according to the mode of using them." Some of us car ry our Latin with us all our lives, just because we had a good teacher. To these, the old Latin saying, "The eagle does not catch files." (Aquila non capit muscas) will recall old memories of the pride and sarcasm of the Bo mans.

RAY BAKER. S13,1. by McClre Newspaper Syndicate. Melvin Hamilton was a specialist In love. Seth Johnson was also a sepclalist, but In a different art. Melvin was Rockford's Lothario. He was the idle son of a rich merchant. with a dark, attractive face, and when he smiled and showed double rows of dazzling Wuhite teeth, and when he brushed back his luxuriant raven locks -well, the girls Just surrendered their hearts. I Of course, Melvin's finances some times played a part in his conquests, but often they were just incidental. His handsome person and entrancing personality were the big assets, and his money simply gave him time to practice his arts. He was supposed to have an executive position in his father's store, but he spent most of his time driving in his big car and wooing fair maidens, and when he had wooed them successfully he cast them zside. "It's an age of specialists," he told a friend. "Look at the doctors who succeed, and the lawyers, and the business men. They all specialize in some particular line. I've specialized In love affairs, and that's how I con quer the young women. Love? No, I don't love any of them; but I do love to make them love me, and then I lose interest. There's no girl I really could feel serious about." Seth Johnson never thought of love, or If he did, his mind was not per mitted to dwell on it. He had admired girls, but from a distance. He lacked initiative where they were concerned, and, besides, he was too busy special izing in something else, and, in addi tion, he was homely, with big freckles, and his clothes seldom looked neat. He had to hustle for a living: Into to live came Susan McDon with her curly golden hair and hr smiling gray eyes and her clever mind and winning personality. She was not a specialist, except In being herselL The game of love was not one of her accomplishments. She had never cared seriously about a man, but if she did she would not, "play the game," because she was too . frank. No coquette was Susan McDonald. On the bureau in Melvin Hamilton's room wau' a row of girl's photographa --reminders of his "victims," young woume- he had won and temsed aside with broken hearts. When he saw Susan he resolved to add her Ilkene to the colletlion. Ipn'au g soeial wires ne managed to get an itroduction, and er long Susan rode In the big car, not ire qua~ tly, but ocesolnally. Melvin tried his arts on her, gradually working up to the elmax, but he ailHed. e had met his Waterloo, and it made him desperate. Balked In tle game, he really fell I love for the ret time n his life. Into the bottom of a trunk went the photos on the bureau. Mel van had decided to marry. " Susan loved him not. The only tin restrial objects she cared about were her father and flowats She 4Iled alone with her only asnrvivlg parent in the big house thpy had.bought, and hbe loved him dearly. She Inasited that a big Sower garden be created on the premises, nd Mr. McDonald acqleseed, as was natural where his dagihter's wishes were lyolved.

Susan's eyes flashed. "Tramp indeed I He's a perfect gen tleman, and he has a head full of floral knowledge. And think of his mission in life ! To beautify the world and make people happy ! It's wonder. ful, I think." Melvin said no more, but drove si lently out into the country. He was in a desperate mood, and when a good place presented itself he drew up be neath the branches of a tree. "Susan," he said, "you've put me off long enough, and we've got to settle it here and now. I'm offering myself to you, when I might have any one of a hundred girls in this town. You don't appreciate the opportunity. I'm rich and you can have everything you want. You must say yes, and say it now." "Oh, I must, must I?" There was ice in Susan's tones. "Well I'll never say it. Go take one of your hundred girls. you may have wealth, but you lack something greater than that. Take me home at once I" Defiance flashed in his eyes, but simmered out under Susan's imperi ous gaze. "Oh, very welL" he said, "I'll take you back-to your tramp gardener." Her eyes said a lot, but she kept still. When they stopped at her home, she leaped from the car without as sistance and started for the door of the house. Melvin caught her by the arm and stopped her. "Listen, Susan," he pleaded. "You must take me!" "Let me go!" she demanded and tried to break away. By this time Melvin was almost in a frenzy. Balked in the greatest desire of his life, he held fast to her and tried to pull her back into the car. He had lost all reason. "You had better let the lady ge," said a quiet voice, as Seth Johnson stepped into the scene, holding a geranium plant in one hand. With the other hand he calmly re leased Susan from Melvin's grasp and started walking with her toward the house. Melvin stared in infuriated si lence, then let in the dclutch and the car leaped away. Ten minutes later Susan was spad ing in the garden with Seth. "Flowers are wonderful," she agreed, as he packed the earth about a plant he had just imbedded. Then he ad ded, rather wisttfully: "And you are just like a lower. The difference is this: One Con love tow ers and can have them for his own, when he knows how." Susan jabbed the point of her trowel energetically into the dirt "Well," she said, demurely, "mee an often do things he never suspected if he only tries." INVENTION AND THE.

EXPERTS GIVE SUGGESTIONS Careful Observations Made at PrincL pal Markets for the Purpose of Eliminating Loose Methods in Handling Product. (Prpeared by thelTutted States Department of riotulture.) Hay is markefg too often under conditions and lctices that tend to make the producer somewhat suspi dons of the buyer and the buyer sus picious of the producer. Such prac tices should be eliminated altogether, in the opinion of the bureau of mar kets and crop estimates, United States Department of Agriculture, and in a new bulletin, No. 979, "Marketing Hay Through Terminal Markets," federal officials make suggestions as to how that may be brought about. Copies of the bulletin may be obtained upon ap plication to the department at Wash Ington. Loose Methods of Business. "While a good many 'unfair meth ads," says the bulletin, "are at pres ent practiced by those concerned in the marketing of hay it appears that meast of them are related to loose methods of business on the part of various agencies engaged in the handling of hay. On the basis of care ful observations made throughout the hay producing and consuming sections, and at the principal markets, it is thought that some improvement in the methods of marketing hay can be ob tained by observing the following sug gestions: "On the part of the country shipper: More care in gradinen weighing and loading the hay; better forms for use in confrming sales, tabulatlng and stating weights, and for invoicing hay; and more care and accuracy in stating terms of sale. "On the part of dealers in terminal markets: The elimination of the prac tice of allowing the state of the mark ket to nflaence the fblfllment of con tracts with country slppers; mo ntiform methods of haandlng in ter' minai markets; better weighing meth ods and more consideration of contents of weight certifat; more uniform gradnsg prabce; B-d -abnd and outbod hay on the uase basis when hay is lought and sold on grade designations; and the elimtsatmn of the practice of boosting grades on et ihpments. gggmtils to Dealers.

But life took a new turn when he' saw a man kiss his wife farewell in front of the Pennsylvania station, New York. He rushed his girl toward a crowd hur rying toward the Philadelphia express, and bade her a fond farewell When the crowd thinned, they joined a throng for Washington, and repeated the act.
