vice to Credit Men What to Do.
Relentless prosecution of bogus check
writers was urged by Louis Schlesinger
assistant county attorney at the regu-
lar weekly luncheon of the Retail Credit
Men's Association Tuesday noon at the
Monger Hotel.
He asked the credit mon not to drop
prosecution after a complaint lias once
been filed on the grounds that the check
lias been made good or the value of
the goods returned.

nil details correct in filing complaints
against bogus check writers and shop-

ror.

What’s the power in a drop of gasoline? That’s not the point.
How much can you get out of it? There you have the real question.
It’s the power you get from your gas that counts. With Texaco
Gasoline the volatile gas you get all the power —every last ounce.
And you get more mileage easier starting quicker pick-up in-
creased flexibility smoother idling less shifting and lower up-keep.
All these advantages are yours when you buy your gas at the
Texaco pump.
Texaco Motor Oils are heavy-body lubricants and are dis-
tinguished by their clear pale color. Light medium heavy
and extra-heavy —they fit all cars and all conditions. You
will find them wherever you see the Texaco red star.

CALOMEL IS A
DANGEROUS DRUG
Next Dose may Salivate You
Loosen Teeth or Start
Rheumatism
Calomel is mercury: quicksilver. It
crashes into soft bile like dynamite;
cramping and sickening you. Calomel
attacks the bones and should never be
put into your system.
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 bac kaud get your
money.
Don't take calomel! It makes you
sick the next day: it loses you a day's
work. Dodson's I.iver Tone straightens
you right up anil you feel great. No
salts necessary. Give it to the children
because it is perfectly harmless and can
not salivate. •
