COATED TONGUE
MEANS LAZY LIVER
A Lazy Liver Needs a Dose of
Dodson's Liver Tone-Cuar-
anteed to Take Place
of Calomel.

When the doctor looks to see if your
tongue is coated, he is trying to find
o 1t if your liver is working properly.
A few years ago doctors had to pre-
scribe calomel-there was nothing else
to give.
Recently in many sections of the
country Dodson's Liver Tone has prac-
tically taken the place of calomel as a
liver remedy. Dodson's Liver Tone is
mild. pleasant tasting and harmless
which makes it a fine medicine for use
when your children become bilious and
constipated. But the most remarkable
feature of Dodson's Liver Tone is that
Ciifton's Pharmacy, who sells it, guar
antees it absolutely. The druggist
will return your money without argu-
ment if the bottle fails to give entire
satisfaction.

Some Early History.
To the Editor:

10 the EOlCOf.
| have been much interested
in looking up the followers of
Napoleon who settled in Alabama
early in the last century. and it
has occurred t. me that the read
ers of our Southern newspapers
might be interested in a brief
account of one of the most ro-
mantle attempts at colonization
made in the Southeastern States.
The location of this colony was
in what is now the fertile and
prosperous region in Southwest
Alabama of which the thriving
city of Demopolis is the center.
For pioneer romance, hardship,
and misfortune which later gave
place to a cultured and wealthy
and ante-bellum civilization and
present day prosperity and de-
velopment, that region enjoys a
historic interest unique in Amer
lean annals.
In the early history of this
great agricultural country-then
dense forest and wild canebrake
are woven the names of men and
women who had played conspic-
uous parts in the greatest drama
of war and nations the world has
ever seen. Men who had led ar
mics in conflicts the result OF
which had changed the map of
Europe, and women who had
adorned the imperial Court of
France, took up the life of pio-
neers in the endeavor to found,
in the then primeval forest, a
colony to cultivate the vine and
the olive. The story of their
m~isfortunes and trials in the rude
life of the frontier and the utter
failure of the venture is one full
of int crest.
The officer who had comman-
ded Napoleon's advance guard
on the march to Paris after the
return from Elba, Colonel Mich
olas Raoul, became a famous
backwoods ferryman, and his
wife a marchioness who had
been maid of honor at court,
cooked his meals over the open
fire in a cabin home. Colonel
Cluis. who had once had the cap
tured King Ferdinand of Spain
in his custody, became the keep
err of a tavern in Greensboro.
General Count Bertrand Clausel,
an officer of merit who comman-
ded at Bordeaux during the Hun
dred Days, raised vegetables on a
little farm and hawked them
through the streets of Mobile.
He afterwards retur d to
France, became a marshal and
governor of Algiers. Count Lee
febvre Desnouttes, a calvary Of
ficer with the rank of lieutenant
general who had fought with
honor in Spain and Russia, had
ridden in the carriagelwith Ma
poleon on the disastrous retreat
from Moscow, and whom the
Emperor had embraced for all
his officers on bidding them fare
well at Fontainebleau, was one
of those who shared in the hard
ships in the wilderness. He was
lost at sea attempting to return
to France. Henry l'Allemande,
a lieutenant general; M. Peniers,
a member of the French Nation
al Assembly, who had voted for
the death of Louis XVI, and a
son of the celebrated Marshal
Grouchy. whose failure to arrive
at Waterloo sealed the fate of
the French Empire, were among
other distinguished persons who
made up the unfortunate COL
ony.
The colony was founded by be-
tween three and four hundred

try was not suitable. Misunder-
standing as to the location OF the
land granted them caused much
distress. as many colonists clear
ed and improved land only to
find that they must abandon It.
Inscriptions squatters added to
troubles of the colony, and in
two or three years it began to
disintegrate, as many as could
returning to France.
The Bonapartists brought no
negro slaves and had no money
with which to buy slaves. The
exiles were not farmers in
France, and had been banished
wearing the silks and velvets of
court life. They brought a little
wine and received more from
friends over the sea. No people
were drawer. They dined and
danced in their log huts, but in
ten years disastrous effort had
driven most of the colony away.
A single olive tree in Demop-
oils and a grapevine or two near
Greensboro mark the places they
left. Demopolis- city of the
people-the name given the set
tlement by the exiles from Bour-
bon rule. and Marengo, the name
given the county in which it lies
inIhonor of one Of Naroleon's
great victories, together with a
few French names, borne by the
dcendants of those who remain
ed, serve to show today that the
country was one peopled by sons
and daughters of France. Though
the French established no char
acteristic civilization in Maren-
go county, built no monuments.
and left no houses to mark their
impress upon the land, it is still
upon the people in refinement, in
gentleness and in princely hos
pitality.
AS the colony began to disin-
tegrate America settlers moved
in, many honorably buying the
colonists' grants for fair consid-
Grafton. Among them were Gull
tured and talented young men
who not only cleared the land
and put vast areas under cult
walton but established a civiliza-
ton of the highest class. The
land on which the French had
labored so vainly to grow the
vine and olive responded boun-
tifully to the Southern PLANTER
and by 1850 had become one vast
area of plantations. penetrated
by numerous broad roads, and
inhabited by thousands of happy
and industrious people, living on
estates maintained in highest
cultivation. In the midst ofthis,
civilization there arose many
stately homes, among them be-
ing some of the handsomest man
sions of the South. Gaines

the death knelI of Piccadilly as the
worlds greatest street of clubs.
The older clubs will be hard put to
find e quarters commensurate with
their dignity. Instead of looking out
upon a really magnificent park-the
section of Piccadilly | refer to is and
can be only built on one side of the
street-they will have to retreat to
quieter streets, where the outlook only
is likely to be other peoples windows.
Even here they will find it hard to
pay the necessary rent. There is
ome talk of turning Dorchester
House, rented by Whitelaw Reid, and
the Stafford and Spencer houses into
clubs, but this would probably prove
too expensive. Since the advent Of
the fashionable hotel restaurant the
popularity of club life has steadily de-
clined. With a few notable excep-
tons, the average London club is in
rather low water financially. The old
days of waiting ten years or more
for election have departed. Two or
three old clubs have broken up and
others have amalgamated.

HAS NOT YET WON POSITION
Flowing Collar, Extremely Popular in
Paris, Fails to Make Much Head
way in This Country.

The Richelieu, the Titan and the
Van Dyke are the three flowing col
lars which expose the neck or turf
away from the stock of wash tulle.
The Richelieu is one Of the Paris
fantasies, but it has not proved popu-
lar in America, although it is exceed
ingly pretty. 1t is made of accordion
pleated tulle, finished with a tiny edge
Of cluny and basted into a round neck.
1t goes around the shoulders in an
ever line, reaching nearly to the arm
holes. When it is worn without a
high stock it is trying, but when it
is merely an accessory to the stock
it is very attractive.
The Van Dyke is another form of
the same kind of collar cut in points.
1t will be worn in embroidered linen
as we'll as in tulle and chiffon cloth.
The linen ones are quite Quakerish
in their effect and do not exactly fit in
with the soft slinkiness of the clothes
of the day, but possibly this style will
have its, followers by reason of this
striking contrast.
AS to the Robespierre no one could
add to its popularity by a word Of
praise or explanation. There have
been few trifiing fashions that have
had its success. 1t came at a time
when the entire world wanted a new
collar and it vas SO ~cleverly adjusted
to every need and turned out in such
vast quantities all over the land that
it was easy for every woman to adopt
it in some makeup before it was a
month old.
