been the ambition of President Diaz TO
educate the people Up TO the point where
they could exercise the prerogative OF
the ballot intelligently. and he has done
much in the direction of providing edu-

There is one section of the constitution
Of Mexico that goes further than any
similar constitutional provision. This sec

requires that every petition submitted

why the petition is granted or why it is

On paper the republic of Mexico has
one of the finest systems of government
in the world. Its constitution is SO COM
pletely modelled after that of the Inifed
states that one must read il very atten-
lively TO discover the difference. The IA
miliar guarantees of life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness are set forth in its
initial paragraphs. and the usual state
ment that all men are free and equal
before the Law is not wanting. On the
whole the fundamental law of Mexico is
an instrument fit To be the chart of the
liberties of tie most enlightened nation
on earth. 1t is probably net going too
far to say that the Mexican constitution is
too good for the Mexican people today.
Diaz himself says they will have to grow
up TO il.
The first aim Of the DiaZ government
has been to give the nation stable gov
"rnment-one wherein life and properly
arc safe and secure from moleStaton.
Diaz has been statesman enough to see
the sort OF government necessary to en-
courage those who would invest capltai
and develop the latent resources Of the
nation, and ruler enough to bend the
constitution far enough to make such a
government possible. 1t is certain that
there never has been held in Mexico
popular election such as Americans Know:
And yet every American with capltal
invested here will agree that the best in
terests of all concerned are conserved by
keeping the ballot out of the hands OF the
ignorant masses. He will point to the
fact that our own Constitution is some
times stretched and strained almost to
the breaking point. the only difference
being that the Mexican authorities are
q little more frank about it.

DON'T POISON YOURSELF
With MERCURY
That's What You May Do II You Take
Calomel, Because Calomel is q
Form Of Mercury.

If you ask a druggist for BIZ
chloride of mercury, he will give
it to you in red label bottle
marked Poison. Calomel is also
a CHLORIDE Of murcury, as your
doctor will tell you, and, as every
body knows, mercury is poison.
When you think you need a
dose Of calomel, instead Of whip
ping your liver up with the
mercury it contains, go to the
Rexall Drug Store and pay fifty
cents for bottle Of Dodson s
Lver-Tone, a pure vegetable
liquid that starts the liver to
action just as surely as calomel
does and is perfectly mild and
harmless, with no bad after-ef-
fects. No restriction of habit or
diet is necessary.
Dodson' s er-Tonegives such
perfect satisfaction is curing
constipation and torpid liver
that the Rexal Drug Store will
give the money back to any per-
son who tries it and does not find
it a perfect substitute for Gallo
mel.
