DON'T SHOCK YOUR LIVER
WITH CALOMEL,
Dodson,s Liver-Tone Persuades it to
Work Naturally and SafeIy-No
Restriction Of Habits or Diet.


If you have a sick horse, you cam
not make him work by beating him,
and if you try it you are liable to
ruin him forever. It's the same way
with your liver. When it becomes
torpid and sluggish, you can take
calomal and whip it into action, but
the calomel will leave your body
weaker and sicker than ever. Gallo
mel is very powerful chemical made
from mercury.
A perfect substitute for ca1omel,
that has all Of its medicinal proper
ties with none Of its dangerous and
uncertain folloW-ups, is Dodson's Li-
Yer-Tone.
The X-Ray Pharmacy sells Dodson,a
Iaiver-Tone with the guarantee that
If you don't find it q perfect substl-
tute for calomei, this store will give
you your money back. Dodson's Lii
yer-Tone is a true tonic for the Ii
yer, purely vegetable and with such
a pleasant taste that it is no trouble
to get children to take it. 1t is alb
solutely impossible for it to do any
one any harm, because it simply
persuades the liver to do what it
ought to do--no more and no less.

A New Oil Burner That Saves Oil.
The following excerpt from the
Assumption Pioneer Of Nov. 16 will
be read with interest and gratifica-
ton by the many friends in this COM
Imunity of j. Leo Landry, popular
|Donaldsonville boy who is making
good as chief engineer and superin-
tendent of the Napoleonyille munich
pal electpic light and water works
plant:
"We publish in today's Pioneer the
charter of the J. Leo Landry Com
pany, Ltd, with the following off.
GERS: J. Leo Landry, president;
Moses Well vicepresident, and Au'
bert L.. Talbot, secretary and treas
urer. The object and purpose Of
the company is to manufacture and
place on the market the fuel oil
burner recently invented and, patented
by J. Leo Landry, our local electric
light and poWerhouse engineer.
"The burner Is already creating
much interest, and orders for them
are coming in faster than they car
be filled. The officers of the com
pany are confident the Landry burn
er is the best and only fuel oil saver
before the public today. and they ex
pect a large demand for the burn
ers as soon as the public is shown
what a large saving it means to use
them. A number of outside expert
engineers have called at the power
plant where. one of the burners Il
working, and each one spoke highly
Of it. Mr.. Landry, the inventor O.
the burner, is very modest in hi:
i claims, but he is nevertheless posi-
| tive his burner is exactly what fue
oil consumers have been looking TO
i for a long time. With this burner
the flow of the oil is regulated au
| tomaticaIly, and it feeds only th
amount required to keep the steam
needed.

Louisiana May Fare Well Under
Wilson,.

A gradual reduction of the tariff
on sugar is expected by Norman
Mack, Democratic national commit
teeman from New York, who was a
visitor to New Orleans this week.
"The Democratic party, according
to my mind, will have to carry out
its principles enunciated at the Bal
timore convention, and one of those
principles is a reduction in the tar
if, said Mr.. Mack Just what re-
duction should be necessary in SUI
gar is question which will have to
be decided by congress. am sure,
however, that there will be no re-
duction of such magnitude as will
work any injury to the industry.
Whether a 35 per cent reduction, a
25 per cent reduction, a 10 per cent
or a / per cent will be right is a
question which l cannot and do not
propose to try to answer. That Will
go up to congress.
sThe people Of Louisiana. how
ever, need fear nothing harmful or
the approaching Democratic admins
tration 1t is going to be a clean ad-
ministration Mr.. Wilson and the
Democratic congress are going to DO
nothing that will harm any Industry
of any state in the Union
Discussing the diplomatic posslblli-
ties offs Mr.. Wilson's administration,
Mr.. Mack said that to the best OF
his knowledge no one knows what Mr..
Wilson is going to do in the way OF
appointments to diplomatic posts or
cabinet positions. 'I believe, how
ever, that Mr.. Wilson will have an
entire house cleaning, and that the
diplomatic posts which are now be-
Ing filled by good Republicans Will
be filled by better Democrats. This
particularly refers to such posts as
ambassador to the court of St.James,
to France, Germany, Russia, Spain,
Japan and China-Europe and the
Orient-and on this continent, the
countries of South America and Mex
| ico.'
| Mr.. Mack expressed the belief that
at least one of the cabinet positions
will be filed by a Louisiana. There
is a great deal of gossip about the
portfolio of the postmaster gener'
al" he said, and many people are
looking toward Colonel Robert Ewing
of New Orleans as the probable ap'
pointee.'

HERE TO STAY.
Commission Government Spreading to
All Parts of United states-Giv-
ing Better Satisfaction Every
where Than Old System.

There has been opposition to the
commission form of government
wherever the effort has been made
to get it. There is a. reason TO theis.
The reason is that wherever it has
been proposed to have commission
government there have been people
and their friends who have enjoyed
more privileges and perquisites under
the old system than 1t is possible
for them to obtain under commission
government. Never in the history of
the world has a movement for the
moral uplift or the political better
ment of a community reached sue
cessful conclusion without being OPP
posed. The man who expects every
body to agree is little too optimis-
tic, to say the least.
No movement in modern times has
met such popular approval Of the
people as commission government. 1t
is spreading over the land like a
prairie fire. 1t has been adopted
in more than hundred American
cities. Party platforms Of fourteen
states pledge the enactment OF leg
islation empowering cities to adopt
commission government. The Ma
tional Short Ballot Organization,
Of which President-e1ect Woodrow
Wilson was elected president after
he secured the passage OF commits
sion government legislation for New
Jersey. estimates that one-tenth Of
the people Of the United States will
be under commission government
by the end of next year.
There is a reason for all Of this.
The reason is that wherever commits.
sion government has been tried II
has given better satisfaction than
the old system. The fact that 1t has
given better satisfaction than the old
system is demonstrated when It is
known that not a single city in the
United States which has adopted
commission government has ever
gone back to the old bystem. This
lis a statement which no opponent
of commission government Is able V
.lldany IIsltehisen, ansas, Spokane
Washingt and Baker, Oregon
are the only three cities In the Unit
ed States which have tried to 81
back to the old system. They failed
by majorities of about three to one

Charles r. Gaines Goes to Porto Rice

SnaFlGS RI. 0dHiSS OSSS ~ 80 ~
The demand for cur best Louisiana
chemists, engineers and sugarhouse
superintendent continues and they
are going out into all quarters Of the
world, carrying their Louisiana educa'

we learn in this direction is that
Charles R. Gaines, chief of the su-
gar laboratory and sugarhouse super
intendent of the famous Belle ALI
ance plantation of the Kock family
in Assumption parish, is going out to
Porto Rico to act as assistant super
fntendent of the Central Aguirre, sail

carry with him the. good wishes OF
his many friends in Louisiana, all OF
whom hope he will return to us next

CAMPAIGN MANGER

The followers of Roosevelt never
tire in singing his purity and his
freedom from trust infiu =nces.
Yet his manager is George w.
Perkins, the trust magnate. who
narrowly escaped the penitentiary
for his theft of life insurance funds
to swell Rosetvelt's campaign fund
in 1904. That Perkins is a fester-
ing sore of corruption is forcibly
shown in the following extract from
speech bv Congressman Stanley
chairman of the steel trust in
vestigation committee:
I.hear that THE new party of
progressive capitalism will sing
hymns between the TRADES of
Roosevelt and the platitudes of
Perkins and that Perkins is to be
choir leader. l would suggest that
they paraphrase the war cry of the
Turkish Janazaries and adopt with
slight modification as the battle
hymn Of the Faithful from Wall
Street." the chant of the Turkish
genies:
% Allah, Allah. Mammon is
Allah. 4" There is no God but
Mammon and Morgan is his
prophet -"

mediary between big business and

ecutive department with the duty

all restraints which deter better

THE RAGING BULL MOOSE

1t takes the Fort WORT Record
to properly define the Bull Moose.
Here is the way it describes that
now noisy animal:
81 feel like a Bull Moose, &"
,jubillantly exclaimed Col. Roose-
welt when he. alighted in Chicago
just in time to get in the way of
the steam roller. The pert para
grahers and the cartoonists had
found what they had heen looking
for a name and an emblem for
the new party, and Bull Moose
and Bull Moose Party he and it
have been since, and by such titles
they will be known to the end OF
the chapter.
without knowing very much
about the Bull Moose, or just what
manner of animal he is, we feel
somehow, that he is an appropriate
emblem for the new party. When
we think of h Bull Moose we get a
mental picture of a huge, hulking
animal, crashing through the
underbrush., needless of its course,
snappin off saplings and limbs of
giant trees and leaving a trail of
destruction in it's wake. We get
the impression that he is danger
GUS, but not brave; destructive,
but of little intelligence an
animal that ia its fury would rush
over a precipice or trample on it's
own young.
That's the kind of animal we
have pictured the bull moose as
being. Now appears Rev. DR..
William Joseph Long. The noted
writer and lecturer on animal life
and the first member or the nature
fakir's section of the Ananias Club,
and tells us that our impressions are
correct, and that moreover, the
bull moose is an arrant coward,
says DR.. Long;
Though the bull moose is thus
instinctively retiring, he has
another side to his nature. At
times he rambles violently through
the woods, exalting his horn.
grunting. squealing, stamping the
earth with his hoofs and thrashing
the unoffending bushes with his
antlers. Meeting him now you
would think him a champion, but
he is at heart an arrant coward
and braggart, without a spark of
real-that is, of moral-courage.
If he ever attacks, it is in fit of
blind fury, like a cornered cat.
He will roar defiance at all rivals
and at the universe itself; but snap
a twig sharply or bark like small
dog and all the rampant egotism
oozes out of him.
The close parallel between your
bull moose and your true politician
may be carried further. Thus,
the Anticipated creature often
let's himself be hunted by cunning
destroyers that he might easily
escape"
