And here is the most sinister
thing yet uncovered by The Day

Kesner and the Chicago Title

together in tenderloin properties.
Time and time again in the city
records Kesner's name appears as
grantor of a certain piece of prop
erty in the tenderloin and the Chi
cago Title & Trust Co.'S as gran
tee, or the Chicago Title & Trust
Co. is grantor and Kesner gran
tee.
The second part of Wayman's
statement made last night is even
more serious. He said he would
not ask for warrants for any more
property owners until he first had
notified them.
This means that every wealthy

given chance to sell his tender
1oin property and thus escape
prosecution, and, what such prop
erty owners fear still more, pub
icity of the source of their for
tunes.
Wayman is simply showing
himself up in his true colors.
When he found that the Chicago
Title & Trust Co. did not own
1905 Armour avenue, he says he
also found that Kesner did.

a warrant for the arrest of Kes-

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

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
will be the fret 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's Liver Tone.
Atlanta druggists tell us that their
drug stores sell Dodson'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 vegeta BILE
liver tonic that is absolutely harmless
for children and grown people. 1t sells
for 50 cts. a bottle and is guaranteed to
be entirely satisfactor by all Atlanta
