HURT YOUR LIVER
Every Time You Take This Powerful
Drug You are in Danger. Take
DOdson' S Liver Tone Instead

Calomel is made from mercury,
and while mercury has many uses,
it is dangerous thing to swallow.
If calomel stays in the system very
long it salivates. Even when it
works naturally, its after-effects are
oftt n bad.
F. T. Whitehead Co. Las a liver
medicine called Dodson's Liver Tore
which is positively guaranteed to take
the place Of calomel. 1t stimulates
the liver just enough to start it
working, and does not make you
sjcker than ever-as calomel often
does. Dodson's Liver Tone Won t
force you to stop eating CT working
after taking it. 1t is as beneficial
for children as for adults.

Meetinu Mrs. Marshall.

After the death OF his parents GeT-

law practice, and one day an urgent
case took him to Angola, Ind. His du-
ties called him to the county clerks or

VAS assisting her father in the office.
From that day Governor Marshall

The west wanted to show the east
what could be done in notification
honors, and, while Mrs. Marshall Was

her husband, she was also worried,
for her husband comes mighty close
to being father, husband, son and part
ner all in one. ARD when q woman

worried.

Value of Conventions to Washington
Pointed Out by Thomas Grant.

What the bringing of conventions to
Washington and the work of the conven-
tons committee of the Chamber of Com
merce means TO Washington is we'll en-
erluod of Carpenters, which has been in
session here for about ten days, said
Secretary Thomas Grant of the chamber
today.
This convention brought, approximate
II. 800 delegates to this city" he said
1T will have been i'll session here for
thirteen days when final adjournment is
taken, and. roughly speaking, the dele
gates will have expended 5000 during
their stay i'll this city, not to mention
s.. $40 which the convention has paid one
printing establishment here for its print
ing.
This convention was brought here
through the efforts of the conventions
committee Of the chamber. a man was
sent 10 the last convention of the car
penters to issue the invitation to come to
this city and to work up enthusiasm for
the National Capital. and we have enter
tanned the delegates. 1t cost us in all
less than S1,2tb.
Another big convention which is COM
ing here next year" said Mr.. Grant. has
already let contracts for printing with one
printing Establishment here which amount
TO $1,000 Conventions certainly bring
hundreds of thousands of dollars to this
city, and We want all the conventions we
can get.

CHEAPER COAL HERE,
IS PREDICTION MADE

There is much discussion in Washington
railroad circles today as to what atti-
tude the interstate commerce commission
or the Department of Justice officials will
take toward the recently announced traE
fic arrangements between the New York
Central and Western Maryland railroad
officials. Its object is the placing of coal
in Baltimore from the Pittsburgh dis
trict and other eastern tdeWater desti-
nations in competition with that product
from the fields of kentucky, Virginia
Tennessee and West Virginia, thereby
provoking a freight rate war, which it is
declared, will be far-reachinS.
1t is believed that the New York Cen
trail officials plan to put the Pittsburgh
coal into the eastern manufacturing cen
ters as cheaply If not cheaper than the
coal-carryins lines are now doing it.
Cheaper Coal Here.
Washingtonians. it is predicted, will
benefit by getting cheaper coal.
The Baltimore seaboard outlet has been
commanded by the Baltimore and Ohio
and Western Maryland railroads I'm
der the old management of both roads,
it has been alleged, there was really no
competition.
The significance of the move on the
part of the New York Central is said
TO be that it is going into the coal bust
ness since it has secured control of the
Western Maryland, and that it has no
present intention of joining the COM
munity of interests.
Through the practical operation of the
plan for a connection at ConnellsvilIe
Pa, between the Pittsburgh and Lake
Erie railroad and the Western Maryland
President Brown of the New York Cen
trail believes he sees the success of his
plans.
Resides Vice President Dixon of the
Pennsylvania, it is understood today
other railroad officials interested in the
alliance have been in Washington trying
to find out where the interstate COM
merce and Department of Justice Off
Gals stand in the matter. So far this
quest has been in vain, it is understood.

Between 1890 and 1911 the increases
are as follows: Meats, 623 per cent;

NOT SOUGHT
Unfounded Report About Pro.
posed Assistant for
Bishop Harding.

A statement made at the bishops house
in Highland terrace, Massachusetts ave-

that so far as Bishop Harding knows
there is no foundation for the story ema-
mating from New York yesterday to the
effect that leaders Of the Protestant Epis-
copal diocese of Washington plan to
choose a suffragan bishop to assist him in
his labOrs.
Bishop Harding is still in New England.
but his secretary, in discussing the mat
ter this afternoon, said that the bishop
was much panied several days ago in
Boston to hear that such a story vas be-
