Calomel Today! Sick Tomorrow!
* I Guarantee Dodson’s Liver Tone
Don’t take nasty, dangerous calomel wEen bilious,
constipated, headachy. Listen to me f,
Calomel salivates! It’s mercury.
Calomel acts like dynamite on a
sluggish liver. When calomel comes
into contact with sour bile it crashes
into it,causing cramping-and nausea.
If you feel bilious, headachy, con
stipated and all knocked out, just go
to ygur druggist and get a bottle of
Dodson's Liver Tone for'a few cents
which is a harmless vegetable sub
stitute for dangerous calomel. Take
a spoonful and if it doesn’t start
your liver and straighten you up
better and quicker than nasty calo
mel 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; be
sides, it may salivate you, while if
you take Dodson’s Liver Tone you
will wake up feeling great, full of
ambition and ready for work or
play. It is harmless, pleasant and
safe to give to children; they like it.

GERMANY DIVIDED
AS TO ADDICATION
Militarists and Junkers Seek to Save
Dynasty; Socialists Demand Kaiser
Quit—Berlin Makes
Appeal.
New York, Nov. 6.—The abdication
of the kafiser still is being widely dis
cussed in Germany, according to news
dispatches from Europe received here.
It appears that the military clique
and the Pan-Germans are making des
perate efforts to save the Hohenzol
lern dynasty, while Socialist leaders
and others demand its fall. All dis
patches indicate that important
events are likely to take place in Ger
many soon and that the fate of the
house of Hohenzollern will be decided
one wapr or the other.
Paris Is Suspicious.
The newspapers of Paris express
the opinion that the kaiser's abdica
tion Is being discussed openly in the
German press because oi its probable
effect upon the peace terms to be
granted by tjie allies.
"It is with the hope of swaying the
allies or even disuniting them,” says
the Temps, "thajt the Germans may
sacrifice William II. They may offer
this abdication to the United States
and the peoples of Europe as a great
sacrifice and as a definite victory for
the allies, although the effa(cement of
the man principally responsible for
the war will only relieve Germany
from embarrassment. With its terri
tory and economic riches intact, the
empire is s&feguardled with or without
the Hohenzollerns. With the acces
sion of more or less of the Austrian
Germans the German empire would
remajin for its neighbors and for Eu
rope a capital danger. We ought not
to be dazzled by abdication, no mat
ter how beautifully staged. '* Germany
couldi only gain by the disappearance
of William.
“Her threajt would remain and her
force would* increase. The problem
of security will remain whether the
emperor of tomorrow will be at Mu
rich or whether there is. a republic
at Berlin.”
Reference to Murich in the Temps’
editorial quoted 'above is an allusion
to the claim made by the royal fami
ly of Bavaria to the German throne
should Emperor William abdicate.
Says Abdication Is Imminent.
/The Murich Post publishes a story to
the effect that the kaiser’s abdica
tion is imminent. It says that seri
ous differences have arisen between
the Munich and Berlin governments,
and adds:
“The Hohenzollerns and- military
party would be making a «rfstake to
play with fire, for the people are by
no melans inclined to be passive.”
A dispatch from Berne, Switzerland,
todajy said that Philip Scheidemann
the Socialist leadler, with the consent
of the party, has asked Chancellor
Maximillian to submit directly to Em.
peror William advice or request that
he abdicate. The Socialist manifesto
was issued at the same time that the
government issued an appeal to the
German people. The Socialist docu
ment asked! the people not to leave
their work to carry on demonstra
tions.

Chickens! Chickens!
Chickens!
This is the time of the year to think of your Spring Chickens;
you naturally want to produce them when they will bring you the
best price, then get ready now and' hare them fat for the early mar
ket.
Early fryers brought 60c per pound last spring, and one should
weigh at least two pounds. That means $1.20 each.
Devote your attention to the larger breeds such as Barred Rock3,
Rhode Island Reds, Wyandot.ts, Bramers and many others; it costs
no more to raise these than the small ones. They grow off quicker
and footer and bring a better price.
Then get ready by first buying a BUCKEYE INCUBATOR, the
one perfect machine, the Incubator that absolutely requires no ex
perience. All you need; to do is to follow instructions and there
is no reason why you should not have almost a 100 per cent hatch.
Don't be satisfied with less.
Don’t wait until spring to bring your chickens off, do it in the
winter and sell them for a big price, when they are scarce.
An incubator and Brooder do not cost much and you will indeed
be surprised at the returns. Ask your local merchants about the
BUCKEYE and if they are unable to give you the desired informa
tion, Vrite us and we will inform y<>u fully.
