DANGEROUS CkLOMEL
GOING OUT OF USE
A Safer, More Reliable Remedy Has
Taken Its Place In the Drug
Store and in the Home.

A few years ago, men. women and
children took calomel for a sluggish
liver and for constipation. They took
risks when they did so, for calomel is
a dangerous drug. Your family doctor
viii be the first to tell you this if he
discovers you dosing yourself with CAL
Omel.
But the drug trade has found a safer,
more pleasant remedy than calomel In
Dodson'e Liver Tone.
Atlanta druggists tell us that their
drug stores sell DodsoR's Liver Tone
in practically every case of bilious
ness and liver trouble where calomel
used to be taken.
Dodson's Liver Tone is a vegetable
liver tonic that is absolutely harmless
for children and grown people. 1t sells
for 80 cts. bottle and is guaranteed to
be entirely satisfactory by all Atlanta
druggists who will refund your money
with a smile If It does not give quick,
gentle relief without any Of calOmeIs
unpleasant after effects.

If regular soldiers had a vote the per

MISS FARRAR NOT
ILL SAYS FRIEND
Has Been in Sanitarium, But
Has Recovered and Will
Sing in Opera Soon.
BY CHARLES HENRY MELTzgR.

- Il
LONDON, Sept 16-What are the facts
concerning Geraldine Farrar? For some
weeks past wild stories have been cur
rent. In Paris and Milan the popular
prlma donna was reported to be so i'll
.nat there was little or no hope Of saving
her. The announcement that she had
been under treatment is a Munich SANTA
rum seemed to give substance to this tale.
When 1t became known that she had can
ceiIed all engagements for her projected
concert tour her friends. of course sun
posed her case was desperate
i have learned however. from an inn
portant employe of the Metropolitan that
Miss Farrar had recovered.
Il saw Miss Farrar only few DAVIS ago
in Munich" said my informant. "She
was then living at the Hotel De RussIe
and looked bright and well. 1t is fact
that she was lately in a sanitarium, and
at her doctors advice. some weeks ago.
she cancelled her concert gagements,
but she assured me she was now in per
feet health and there appears to be no
doubt that she will be able to appear on
the second night of the approaching opera
season; not in New York, but possibly in
New Haven"
In confirmation Of his optimistic state
ments, my informant pointed out that
Miss Farrar's mother had arrived in
Paris
rs 1t likely" he concluded, that she
would leave her daughters side if the
reports You mention were justihed?"
On the other hand, about week ago
an artist who till lately would have been
generally accepted as an authority gave
quite alarming news about Miss Farrar
to one of the most influential persons con-
nected with grand opera in America The
truth may lie between the two extremes.

WANT TO Be P. M. TOO i?

These days, when Wilson and
Marshall are looming so large on the
presidential horizon, and it looks as
if the democrats are at last coming
into their own, the woods are full OF
prospective candidates for the post
masterships and every other job for
which Uncle Sam puts up the pay
roll.
This is true in Dawson as well as
elsewhere, and it is said that num-
erous local democrats would be more
than pleased to be styled "P. M"
The dispensation of this pie, 1t IS
said, will be largely in the hands OF
Congressman Crisp, but, as it is a
presidential office, National Commit
teeman Howell and Senators Bacon
and Smith can have something to say
in the matter if they care to do so.

MACON GETTING INTERESTED
WANTS EARLY MORNING TRAIN
GOING NORTH VIA DAWSON.
Would Be of Great Convenience to
People ON the Central Between
Eufaula and Smithvilte.


Eufaula and Smithvilie.
Macon is showing an interest in
the efforts to secure an early morn
ing train on this division Of the Cen
trail railroad to connect with the
train at Smithville going north. The
Telegraph of Thursday morning, in
noting that the matter was being ag
tated in Dawson, said:
"a movement has begun and a pc
tition will be circulated with view
to securing an early train over the
Central of Georgia railway to Smith
vile, so as to make it possible for
Dawson citizens to come to Macon
and return in one and the same day.
Train connections are such now that
this is impossible. The petition to be
circulated will be addressed to the
management of the Central railroad,
and if those at he head of the move
ment will bestir themselves the mat
ter can be brought up at the quar-
terly meeting of the board of di-
rectors on the first Monday in Octo-
her.
I'm the event that the early train
is put on that division of the road
it will be possible for the citizens of
Eufaula, Ala, Cuthbert and Dawson
to come to Macon and return in a
single day.
at is believed that the railroad
management will grant this privilege
if the citizens will show the proper
disposition to patronize the proposed
train and make it paying PROPOSE
ton for the road.
Macon business men are always
glad to aid in such enterprise, and
the fact that the three towns inter-
ested were visited by the Macon trade
special last week evidences their in
terest in the possible trade relations
between these towns"
