■$ —. , , , — , ■ ■. • vegetable' l CALOMEL ij I -U- U —H- HI M M ■» II • Vegetable calomel, extract of the root of the old-fashioned may-apple plant, does not salivate. As -a liver stimulator, it’s great It’s a perfect substitute for ordinary calomel (mercury); in fact, it’s better, because its action is gentle instead cf severe and irritating — and it leaves no mean, disagreeable aftereffects. Physicians recognize this and prescribe may-apple root (podcphyllin, they call it) daily. Combined with four other standard, all-vegetable remedies, mayapple root may now be had at most any druggist’s in convenient sugarcoated tablet form by asking for Sentanel Laxatives. If you forget the name, ask for the box that has the picture of the soldier on it. I These tablets are small, easy to ‘ take and are really wonderful lit- ’ tie performers. They quickly clean cut the poii sons that are causing you headi ache, constipation, scur stomach, ' biliousness, dizzy spells, bad breath i and coated tongue. [ They are mild. They never gripe. And they are a bowel tonic as well as a cleanser and liver regulator. A 10c box should last one several weeks.

THE OLD OAKEN BUCKET. | A Famous Song and Its Composer. Samuel Woodworth, the son of a modest Massachusetts farmer, was born in Scituate, that state, January--19, 1785. While the family were poor and had no luxuries, their lot was no worse than that of the ordinary New England family, and they lived in comporative comfort. While his life was a succession of ambitions, attempts and failures, his fame rests secure on his faithful portrayal of the old fashioned well and weather-beaten well-sweep, universally to be found on the farms of that day. While living in New York City, on Duane street, he came home one July day, nearly overcome with the heat, and with nothing to drink but the tepid water of the city—ice being unknown in those days in the summer months—he eicldimed to his wife: “What would I not give this

I moment for a long draught from the ; old oaken bucket hanginng in my father's well!” “Samuel!" replied his wife, “wouldn't that be a good subject for a poem?” Forthwith he sat down—the thronging recollections of his childhood crowded thick upon him—and that charming idyll of tine bucolic New England sprang into sheathless life and fame. The music is said to have been adapted from an ancient Scottish melody by Frederick Smith. Woodworth died in 1852. This song, like so many of the heart lyrics of an elder day, is found in the famous song collection called “Heart Songs”—which this paper is offering nearly free of cost to its readers. We recommend them to look for the Heart Songs coupon, to be found elsewhere in this paper today—and learn the terms upon which this remarkable book can be had. Democrat Want Ads Pav
