DON'T SHOCK YOUR
LIVER WITH CALOMEL
DOdsOn's Liver-TOne Persuades 1t To
Work Naturally and Safely
No Restriction Of Habits
or Diet.


If you have a sick horse, you cam
not make him work by beating him.
and if you try it you are liable to
ruin him forever. It's the same way
with your liver. When it becomes tor
pid and sluggish, you can take Gallo
mel and whip it into action, but the
calomel will leave your body weaker
and sicker than ever. Calomel Is a
very powerful chemical made from
mercury.
A perfect substitute for calomel,
that has all of it's medicinal proper
ties with none of its dangerous and
uncertain follow-ups, is Dodson' g
Liver-Tone.
The Seminole pharmacy sells Dod-
sons Liver-Tone, with the guarantee
that If you don't find 1t a perfect sub
stitute for calomel, this store will
give you your money back. Dodson's
Liver-Tone is true tonic for the liv-
er, purely vegetable, and with SUCH
a pleasant taste that it is no trouble
to set children to take it. 1t is alb
solItely impossible for it to do any
one any harm, because it simply per-
suades the liver to do what it ought
to dc-no more and no less.

Rather unexpectedly barge No. IL of

the tug James q. Carter arrived here

~. which was brought to Georgetown in
the early part Of this week. had been
taken down to Alexandria and No. 10 put
under the chutes to begin loading when
the message came that No II was at
Point Lookout awaiting a tugboat
1t was expected that No. 20 would re-
main day or two at Alexandria, but
when the tug started after the light
barge she took the loaded one to the
mouth of the river SO that it could join
a tow in going up the coast from Balti-
more. No. Il is expected to reach here
tomorrow, and the work of loading her
will be started Monday morning.
When the barges now loading are sent
away and No II completes her cargo.
about 1,GO tons of coal will have been
sent from this city to New England
points in about a week. Accor iifig to re-
port a light barge is on its way down

English and American Speech.
rom the Springfield Republican.

The American voice has had many
severe critics. but the eminent English
actress. Mrs. Edith Wynne Matthison,
who has teen summing up her impress
Sons. is more lenient. She has found
shrillness, to be sure. but also many
beautiful. we'll 'modulated' voices" and
the shrillness she generously ascribes to
the effort of competing with the noise of
an American city-She herself is discreet
enough not to attempt conversation in
New York subway or under an elevated
road.
There may be something in this, but it
hardly covers the whole ground for the
American voice was matter OF COM
ment before subWays or elevated roads
existed. and a twang is not unknown in
rural regions. The noise of the city may
have its effect on speech. and il is
curious that urban perversons. however
ugly they may be are apt to sabst tute
more telling for less telling sound. The
cockney- "todye" is louder than today"
more sonorous than girl a pleasing
word when rightly spoken, but OF o.
scure resonance. Hurry up is feeble
beside the ''orrl-'oppa' which may be
heard in the Italian quarter. But mere
perversion of language is different
thing from a shrill or throaty utterance,
and while urban conditions may accen-
tuate some American traits the faults
complained Of by our foreign critics are
probably to be ascribed mainly to nerv-
Gus tension. When We learn to slacken
the pace a little the vocal chords will
feel the effect also. and it will not be
needful to go to Virginia for mellifious
speech. The American voice is of first
rate quality, as the number of good sing
ers shows. but American speech is apt to
be rather too strenuous. Let us hope
that the new gospel of relaxation will
have its effect.
The schools can do much for correct
ness, but not very much for euphony.
II is interesting that a controversy has
lately arisen in England over what has
been called the board school voice" 1t
has been trenchantly attacked in the
press by Sir Francis Eane, who is an
swered in behalf of the schools by Thorn
as Gautrey, secretary of the London
teachers association. He admitted that
there was room for Improvement in the
London accent, and that the ordinary
cockney dialect was abominable. but he
attributed to the schools an immense inn
proyenent in the speech of the ordinary
Londoner during recent years.
