ting his own personal feelings ahead
OF the interests of his allies at the
time of the peace conference at Bucha-
rest, and as these same papers would
undoubtedly declare that a trip to
Corfu had political significance and
as il would have made visit TO Ath-
ems almost inevitable, the Kaiser gave
up his plan, without, however, pre-
tending for single moment that he
enjoyed making this sacrifice on the
altar of the triple alliance. He has,
however, invited King Constantine
and Queen Sofie to visit him here. and
the invitation has been accepted,
though from diplomatical reasons the
royal couple will not arrive here I'M
til they have first visited Paris, Lon
don and Vienna, but they will set out
for this round of visits as soon as po-
litical conditions will permit the king 5
absence from home.
Russians Polite.
The Russian police certainly have
never won a reputation for their po-
likeness, but that they are neverthe-
less occasionally inclined TO render
due tribute to feminine beauty is
shown by the following description
supplied to the German police by the
Russian police authorities who are
eager to capture lady who ran away
from her husband with a lover after
first robbing him of everything. she
was able to lay her hands on. The
fugitive is officially described thus ::
She is about 40 years old, of medium
height, most charming appearance. =

two or three regiments of Japs would
be able to beat them in no time sim

training. Let me say this" he con-

invincible army, but believe me when

something. To attempt to oppose a

Kaiser Peeved.
The Kaiser's i'll humor continues as
might quite naturally be expected aft
er his experiences on his recent trip
into Prussian Poland. where he was
received like a hated oppressor and
where the people locked themselves up
in their houses to avoid greeting him
in the street and decorated their win
dows with portraits of the great Ma
poleon, the conqueror of Prussia.
The Kaiser has had other disap-
pointments too. Political reasons have
forced him to give up his annual trip
to Corfu where he is very fond OF
spending a few weeks in perfect
peace among the idyllic surroundings
of Achlleion and he was particularly
anxious to go there this year to meet
his brother-in-law, ing Constantine of
Greece, who had won his admiration
by his splendid generalship anc daring
deeds of arms during the Balkan war.
The Austrian and Italian press, how
ever, have accused the Kaiser of put

A Handicap

EDITOR HERALD:-The most
serious and depressing effect of
having to live in large county
like DeSoto is the difficulty of
transacting the ordinary trans
actions in all matters relating to
the exercise of citizenship, and
when transactions in real estate is
attempted the burdensome cost to
any except the immediate vicinity
of the county seat, is both expen-
sive and dilatory owing to the
great distance to the county seat
involving both time and burden
some expense, thereby retarding
and delaying all transactions, be-
sides the complete failure of many
deals because of the expense and
difficulty encountered.
Another terrible handicap is
the inability to satisfactorily ex-
plain to investors why it is neces-
sary to have county with 1000
square miles of surface, the infer
ence and logic of this situation is
equivalent to advertising the coun-
ty to be a barren waste utterly
unable to supporta population and
consequently county organlza-
ton.
Perhaps there is not a real es-
tate man or a taxpayer within the
boundaries of DeSoto county, who
cannot from hard earned expert
ence, testify to the lamentable
state of affairs, the logic of which
is that such a large territory can
not be worth much if it requires
all of it to support one county
seat. Tax STUDENT.

DRUGGIST GIVES MONEY BACK.
DOdsOn's Liver Tone Get Four
Square Guarantee From the Semi
uOIo Pharu1acy.

mole Pnarmacy.
When an article is sold a druggist
who is willing to give it his personal
guarantee, it's mighty strong proof
of real merit.
That's exactly the case with Dod-
sons Liver Tone. 1t Is a pleasant
tasting, vegetable remedy for slow
and sluggish liver. Since Dodson's
Liver Tone came on the market the
sale of calomel has gone way down.
The reason is simply this: Dodson's
Liver Tone is safe and harmless and
guaranteed to be satisfactory Gallo
mel is often uncertain, sometimes
dangerous, and no druggist wants to
guarantee that it won't knock you
out of days work and maybe send
you to bed.
The Seminole Pharmacy sells Dod-
sons Liver Tone and guarantees 1t.
For you and for your children, it's a
good thing to keep bottle always in
the house.
The Seminole Pharmacy will give
you your money back if you think
Dodson's Liver Tone is not worth the
price. Keep your liver working and
your liver will not keep you from
working" Is good advice to 60 by.
