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

If YOU have q sick horse, you
cannot make him work by beat
ing 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 slug
gish, you can take calomel and
whip it into action, but the cal
omel will leave your body weak
er and sicker than ever. Gallo
mel is a very powerful chemical
made from mercury.
A perfect substitute for calomel,
that has all of It's medicinal prop
critics with none Of its dangerous
and uncertain follow-ups, is Dod-
sons Liver-Tone.
John R. Taylor & Bro. drug
store sells Dodson's Liver-Tone
with the guarantee that if yoH
don't find it a perfect substitute
for calomel, this store will give
you your money back. Dodson z
Liver-Tone is true tonic for the
liver, purely vegetable, and with
such a pleasant taste that it is no
trouble to get children to take it
It is absolutely impossible for il
to do anyone any harm, because
it simply persuades the liver to dc
what it ought to do-no more and
no less.

snoL-CARRYING FOLLY
{ New York Tribune J

The obvious moral of the fatal
shooting Of a mother by her
daughter in sleeping car is that
excitable young women should not
carry pistols. Least of all should
they take pistols to bed with
| them. Troubled dreams and a
startled sense Of danger on sud
| den awakening are not uncom-
| mon anywhere, and conditions in
a sleeping car are peculiarly con-
ducive to them. Every little while
we hear of some late conner or
early riser being mistaken in his
own home for a burglar and shot.
The revolver under a pillow is a
far more serious menace to friends
than to enemies. This girl s fatal
impulse of self-defense was per-
fectly natural. But it is hard to
exaggerate her folly in carrying
pistol on a trip from Pittsburg
to New York or that of her ma
ture friends who assisted her in
it's purchase. There may be oc-
casions when it is proper for u
traveller to carry weapons. But
even on a Western stage line it
is rarely wise, and on xn Eastern
railroad it is worse than unnec
essary. At moment Of real dan
ger a pistol is generally ineffec-
tive. The train robber or other
enemy is almost always better pre-
pared for an exchange of bullets
than his victim, and the posses
sion of a weapon only puts the
traveller in more danger. At the
same time it is a constant menace
to Hhe possessor and his friends,
either through it's accidental dis
charge or it's being fred in a mo-
ment Of panic. Most experienced
persons, even when their duty
calls them into dangerous situa
tions, 60 unarmed. The great
majority of physicians, night
workers, habitual travellers and
others who in all sorts of places
at all hours realize that they are
safer without arms than with
them, so long as they attend to
their own business, and that what
ever danger they risk is not ma
derially lessened by pistol in a
hip pocket. New York has sought
by drastic legislation to discour-
age this absurd custom of going
armed in a civil community. 9th
er states might wisely follow its
example. This tragedy should
impress upon those who is i'm
PEELED to secure the legal right to
keep pistols about them that the
pistol is dangerous one.

1t was thougbt that the tidal
wave of last June, which swept
over the marshes along the gulf
coast, would destroy the fur-bear-
ing animals and thereby make the
supply of fur scant quantity,
butt this is not the case. They
seem to be more plentiful than
ever before, and the trappers are
reaping rich harvest for their
efforts. Two of the camps report
a catch Of more than 10000 pieces
within the last three weeks,
which means that many thousands
of dollars will be realized from
this source, and distributed
among the business houses Of this
town. The marshes prove to be
quite as valuable as any other
land in this section Of the state.

At the close of the eighteenth
century the ministry overshad-
owed all other professions and
was chosen by about two-thirds
of all the graduates. One hun
dred years later only about one
fifth OF the graduates adopted this
profession. At the close of the
nineteenth century, less than six
per cent entered the ministry.
Education, which was selected by
only a comparatively small Man,
Der down to 1925, has advanced
with great rapidity, until now
it outranks all other professions
and is chosen by over oae-fourth
of the graduates. Law, at the
end of the eighteenth century, was
the professional nearly one-third
Of all graduates and outranked
all other professions at this time.
Since then it has lost in relative
Importance, although the actual
number Of graduates entering this
field has increased. Business
claims an increasing proportion
Of graduates, until at present near
ly one-iifth enter an active busi-
ness career. Less than l per
cent of the graduates of these thir.
ty-seven colleages now enter agri-
culture. A century ago the pro-
portion was between three and
four times as great.

FRIENDS OF ADLER PRESS
HIS CAUSE WITH
PRESIDENT.

Washington, Dee. 3.-President
Taft was urged today by Senator
Foster and Representative Brous-
sard to grant an unconditional
pardon to President Adler of the
State National Bank of New Or
leans, who is in the federal prison
at Atlanta, serving a sentence for
a technical violation of the ma
tional banking laws.
The president promised to give
the matter his immediate atten-
ton. He was told Mr.. Adler s
offence was technical and that he
received not dollar Of any per-
sons money as result Of his
acts. 1t was pointed out to the
executive that . pardon for Mr..
Adler would be universally ap.
proved, not only in Louisiana,
where the circumstances are
known, but as we'll by fair-mind-
ed and justice-loving people ev-
erywhere.
Mr.. Adler, the president was in
formed, is one of the best known
of the public spirited men in New
Orleans, and the fact was recalled
that he was one Of the business
men Of the city who signed and
obligated themselves to be re-
sponsible to the extent of $3.50, 900
until the government took charge
in the yellow fever epidemic in
1898.
Messrs. Foster and Broussarl
also visited Attorney General
Wickersham in behalf Of Mr.. Ad-
Ter. They expressed satisfaction
with their conference and said
they were more hopeful now of
good results than ever before.
