USE OF CALOMEL
PRACTICALLY STOPPED
Dangerous Drug Giving Way For A
Safer, More Reliable Remedy.

Hundreds of people in this vicinity
alone have stopped the use of danger
GUS calomel when their liver is acting
slowly, and take Dodson's Liver-Tone
instead.
Dodson's Liver-Tone is always safe
and has none of the bad after-effects
which so often follow the use of Gallo
mel 1t is a pleasant-tasting vege-
table liquid that starts the liver gent
ly and surely, and relieves constipa-
ton and biliousness and causes no re-
striction of habit or diet.
Many preparations have sprung up
that initiate the claims made for bod
sons Liver-Tone, but remember
Dodsons Liyer-Tone is the tried and
tested remedy that has proven such
6 good medicine and is so satisfactory
to every user-is the reason these imi-
tations are on the market.
Dodson's Liver Tone cannot hurt
any one and if it fails to do all that is
claimed for it Howell-Prather's Phar-
macy, who sell it will give your money
back with a smile.

LABOR and FARMERS ARE
EXEMPTED in THE LAW
They Are Without the Reach
of the Sherman Law

Washington, D. c., May S.-By a
vote of Al to 80 the senate last night
refused to accept an amendment to the
sundry civil bill by Senator Gallinger
striking out the clause exempting la
Dor and farmers organizations from
prosecution under the antitrust law
with funds appropriated under the
bill.
Three republican senators, Jones,
LaFollette and Norris, voted with
the democrats against the Gallingee
amendment, and two democrats, Pom
orene and Thomas, joined the republi-
cans in supporting it.
The bill itself, carrying about $117,-
100000, finally was passed by viva
voce vote, with only one minor com
mittee amendment. 1t will be sent to
conference Friday, and should be
ready for President Wilson next weea
Friends of the president believe h.
will sign it.
During the debate yesterday Sena-
tor Cummns made an effort to have
congress take up the questions of ex-
empting labor and farmers organiza-
tions from the Sherman act directly
and not by legislation in an appropria-
ton bill. He moved that considera-
ton of the sundry civil bill be sus-
pended until May II; that the sen
ate interstate commerce committee b,
directed to report on the advisability
of such exemptions, and that if found
advisable it should accompany it's re-
port with bill for that purpose.
On motion of Senator Martin, the
Cummins proposal was laid on the ia
BILE and several minor amendments
proposed were heated by loud cho-
rus of noes" and without requiring
record votes. Before the final vote

possible. In his statement the post
master general said:
81 feel that President Taft's order OF
October Is last did not go far enough
in that it failed to apply a merit sys-
tenn to the entire service it aimed to
cover. 1t had the effect of placins
within the classified service a large
number of postmasters who have not
been required to demonstrate their
fitness for such appointments. Funda-
mentally, a reform movement aas for
it's purpose the righting of an existing
wrong. Therefore, if the application
of the merit system to the postal SER
vice was needed in order to correct
an existing evil, then the scope of the
order affecting the changes should
have been broad enough to have cor
rected as far as possible the condi-
ton then existing as a result Of the
former system as well as to accomplish
TIE desired results in the future
political considerations have in the
past very largely controlled the sele,-
ton of fourth class postmasters ami
under this order democrats must De
held responsible for the wise and safe
administration of these offices.
Under the circumstances the Taft
order violated at least the fundameD-
tai purpose of the civil service law be-
cause it places permanently in Office
without examination great horde OF
persons. If left in this condition and
permitted to operate without proper
examination into it's workings, the
order would make honest civil service
farce and prove setback to its
proper administration and future pro-
gress. My effort is to correct the evil
and save the merit of the order, and
duly safeguard civil service and eff

YOUNG BLOOD TO Count
In NEXT LEGISLATURE
Several Coming Members
Looked on FaVOrabIy

Young blood is going to count in
t1e next legislature, and there are SEX
eral members coming to the house who
are sure be heard from in favorable
light
Among there is Frank A. LipscomJ,
one CT "larkes' new representatives.
Mr.. Lipscomb is young, enthusiastic,
and while he has had no legislative
experience, he is coming here on the
fourth Wednesday in June with some
pretty definite ideas. He will not try
to run away with the situation, but
ne expects to be aggressive, hard,
working and as helpful in promoting
good legislation as he can.
One of the measures Mr.. LipscomD
will introduce and press this summer
will be a bill to create a board of
state tax assessors, or equalizers. Such
a measure was in the last general as
sembly, but it did not get very far.
Mr.. Lipscomb believes, however, that
this measure is very necessary for
the states welfare and prosperity,
and as a matter of securing just and
adequate tax returns. He also be-
lieves that much of the opposition to
i! is breaking down and that chances
for passage will be much greater this
year.
At any rate he believes he has a
just cause, and will come here pre-
pared to fight for it, backing it up with
facts and figures.
Other young men who are going
be heard from in the house are Grow
er Edmondson, Of Brooks; Barry
Wright, of Floyd o. T. Cover, Of
Crisp, who is the author of the new
insurance law; Ed Cole, of Barlow
Ben Fowler and Wallace Miller Of
Bib; Shelby Myrick, of Chatham; c.
NJ. Methvin, of Dodge; Louis Wisdom
OF Forsyth, and several others. Most
of them are experienced in legislative
finesse, but they are all alert, ambi-
tious and intelligent.
Finally, the house will be presided
ever by a comparatively young man,
whether it is Burwell, Sheppard
Hardeman or Fullbright

" in being his own janitor, er-

A man of this type is just as big

carrying a portion of the same
stock that he had five years ago,
and unless he happens to have

LOWER PASSENGER
RATES0N COLORADO
LINES TO Be ASKED

Denver. Jan. 3.-Now that the
Colorado railroads have abolished
passes. 1t is proposed to file COM
plant with the state railway COM

justmcnt and reduction OF passenger
rates in Colorado. Attorney Omar
Garwood is preparing data and will
bring the action in II short timc.
Every railroad originating in or
doing n passenger business in the
state Is to he made a party defend
ant in the suit. The reduction ask
ed for will amount to 1-2 to cent
a mile for the lines doing business
where there or no mountain halls.
The basis of the suit will be that
the abolition of passes will result in
greatly increased revenue for the
railroads. and that the latter ought
to be able to stand u reduction in
rates on their prairie lines with the
increased travel. The 2-cent fare
laws In other states are to he cited
as showing that the roads can carry
passengers on their level lines in
Colorado just as cheap rs they can in

perhaps 4 cents mile for mountain

been any legislation in Colorado on
