AN AUTO FOR EVERY
FAMILY IN ARKANSAS
A Good Car Could be Present
ed to AH at Less Than Cost
of the Nation’s Ash Heap
A five-passenger automobile
for every family in Arkansas,
with electric self starter and
all the fixin’s to make a joy
ride all the name signifies,
could be purchased with the
amount of money used to build
the nation’s ash heap every
year. And there would still be
money left over to buy gaso
line, tires and oil for months
to come.
The amount of the annual
fire waster distributed among
the 400,000 families in Arkan
sas would give $1,125 to each
family, says the Southern Con
struction News of Little Rock.
This would buy a pretty good
automobile with a “flivver”
thrown in for the cook. And a
small percentage of this
amount would buy a large
amount of waterworks, fire
fighting equipment and subur
ban fire plugs.
So staggering are the figures
on fire waste that one car.
hardly grasp their meaning.
Most people don’t realize that
they themselves are standing
their part of this enormous
drain on the nation’s resources.
But the $450,000,000 tax is
paid year after year. It comes
out of the pockets of the peo
ple because there is no other
place for it to come from. This
“invisible tax” becomes visible.
Sometimes the fire loss is so
great in a single year that ev
erybody feels it. For instance,
the San Francisco fire loss of
$450,000,000 in 1906 added to
the country’s usual fire loss
made itself felt to every man.
woman and school child in the
United States through the pan
ic of 1907. The San Francisco
fire was a direct contributing
cause of that lamentable panic.
This great fire loss is going
to be cut down. One reason is
because the people cannot
stand the tax. As a result they
will seek out the facts in the
case and becoming aroused will
remedy the situation. How?
By PREVENTING PREVENT
ABLE FIRES, meaning most of
the fires we now experience. It
may take some years to bring
about this relief and again it
may not take so long. A good
start has been made and in the
end American Gumption will
win.

EVER SALIVATED BY
CALOMEL? HORRIBLE!
Calomel is quicksilver and acts
like dynamite on
your liver.
Calomel loses you a day! You know
what calomel is. it’s mercury; quick
silver. 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.
When you feel bilious, sluggish, con
stipated and all knocked out and believe
you need a dose of dangerous calomel just
remember that your druggist sells for
50 cents a large bottle of Dodson’s Liver
Tone, which is entirely vegetable and
pleasant to take and is a perfect substi
tute for calomel. It is guaranteed to
start your liver without stirring you up
inside, and can not salivate.
Don’t take calomel! It makes you
sick the next day; it loses you a day’s
work. Dodson’s Liver Tone* straightens
you right up and you feel great. Give
it to the children because it is perfectly
harmless and doesn’t gripe.

DANGERS OF BORROWING
YOUR HOME PAPER
A man who was too econom
ical to purchase or subscribe
for his home paper sent his lit
tle boy to borrow the copy tak
en by his neighbor. In his haste
the boy ran over a $4 stand of
bees and in ten minutes looked
like a warty summer squash.
His father, who ran to his as
sistance, and failing to notice a
barbed wire fence, ran into
that cutting a handful of flesh
from his anatomy and ruining
a $4 pair of pants. The old cow
took advantage of the gap in
the fence and got into the corn
field and killed herself eating
green corn. Hearing a racket,
the wife ran out, upset a four
gallon churn of rich cream in
to a basket of kittens, drown
ing the entire litter. In her
haste she dropped a $25 set
ot false teeth. The baby hav
ing been left alone, crawl
ed through the spilled milk
and into the parlor, ruining a
brand new $25 carpet. During
the excitement the eldest
daughter ran away with the
hired man, the dog broke up
1 1 setting hens and the calves
Kot out and chewed the tails
off’n four fine shirts.—Ex.
