A TRIED AND PROVED
GUARANTEE
Man Bought Bottle of Dodson's g
Liver Tone, Then Took 1t Back
and Asked for His Money
and Got 1t,

A man recently tried out the guar
antee which Bells Drug Company
gives with every bottle Of Dodson s
Liver Tone. He bought bottle and
then went back to The drug store and
said the medicine hadn't helped him
This druggist just reached into his
cash register and took out half dol
lar, the price of the bottle Of Liver
Tone, and handed it back to the gem
tleman. But he didn't take the
money. He owned up that he was
just trying the guarantee, and, as a
matter of fact, he had found Dod-
sons Liver Tone the best remedy for
constipation and biliousness he had
ever tried. why" he said, my
wife wouldn't be without a bottle in
the house for anything. It's the. best
thing in the world for the whole fam
lily, and the medicine that | prefer
to take or to give to my children for
a lazy liver"
Bells Drug Company sells ,Dod-
sons Liver Tone and guarantees it
to start tho liver without violence.
1t is taking the place Of calomel
everywhere. If you buy bottle and
don't find this pleasant-tasting vege-
table liquid the best thing to start a
lazy liver, they will hand your money
back with a smile. adv.

His Shirt Hank Sinks in Sea.

New Work, Aug. 14.-Emillio LON
bardi, a steerage passenger on the
Italian liner Taormina, in yesterday
from the Mediterranean, found the
air of the Atlantic very hot when the
liner was in midocean and took off
his shirt and flung it IN the deck.
Angelo Catania, a fellow voyager,
somewhat fastidious, supposed the
shirt, which was rather grimy, had
been discarded by somebody and
picked 1t up and flung it into the sea.
Thereupon lombard shouted the
equivalent in Italian Of "Man over
board!" and there was an eruption
from the steerage. lombard ex-
planned that there was not really a
man overheard, but that, sewed in the
old shirt, was 500 francs, all the
money he had, and he wanted the
shirt rescued. BY that time the shirt
was far out Of sight. Lombardi was
taken before the captain and proved
that he had had 500 francs in the
shirt. When the liner got to New
York the company decided 20 pay
Lombardi that amount.

Efficacy Of Prayer.

Philadelphia, Aug. 15.-Rev. Gus
tave ALI, pastor Of the First Polish
Baptist church. is a firm believer in
the efficacy of prayer. Whenever Mr..
Alf wants anything he prays for 1t
and his prayers are answered.
Several years ago M. ALI wanted
wife. One young woman had Tilted
him, so he asked the Lord to give
him another. The wife was forth
coming and to-day Mr.. ALI is the
proud father Of two children.
Mr.. ALI has been praying for a
church to house his congregation
This prayer will also be answered.
More than one-half OF the necessary
amount to purchase a church build
ing for the Polish congregation has
been collected.
A short time ago Mr.. ALI met in
Cleveland one of his converts, named
Lapinski, who wanted wife. Two
days after they prayed together for
this particular blessing Lapinski met
the attractive young woman, who
two months later, he married.
Another Of Alf's converts, named
Morsey, won his father to the Chris
tian faith through his preceptor's
prayers and his own.

WOMEN ARE HARD no CURE.
Startling How Many Are Addicted to
Use OF Cigarettes.

Chicago, Aug. 15.-That the ciga-
rette habit, once it was started, fas-
tens its grip more strongly on women
than on men was the opinion express
ed here Tuesday by Lucy Page Gas
ton, foe Of the paper pill" and su-
perintendent Of the Anti-Cigarette
League Of America.
Since Miss Gaston's free clinic
FOR the cure Of those addicted to the
"makings" and the tailor made" was
opened a week ago, she has been
keeping a close record Of the average
ages of those who appear for ,reat-
mcnt and Of their sex and station in
life. Fully 15 per cent Of those who
have asked medical aid, either in per-
son or by mail, are women, and this,
she says, shows that a larger per-
centage Of the fair sex than of men
are sorry they started the habit.
Maybe it is because women have
weaker will-power than men, or
maybe 1t is because they are more
changcabie OF mind" said Miss Gas
ton. Anyway, I am surprised at the
large number Of women who have
written me heart-rending letters ask
ing for the slightest announcement
that they might be able to sever the
bonds that hold them slaves to the
cigarette habit. And the appeals
get are not from the lower class of
women, but from those Of intelli-
gence.
"One woman, whose husband Is a
prominent Canadian, possessor Of
title, and who moves in the most ex-
elusive society, has written for the
cure She contracted the habit un-
known to her husband. I was aston
1shed to find that some OF the wo-
men have been using cigarettes for
twenty years. This is remarkable,
considering the fact that the habit
among women in society is a fad of
practically recent origin.
Actresses seem to be in the ma
jority OF women patients. Some re-
ported that they wanted to quit be-
cause smoking was impairing their
singing and speaking voices. Mar
ried women also seem to be in the
majority OF those who apply for
treatment. One Of the most pitifnl
appeals was from a young married
woman who said that the cigarette

said Mr.. Morrill,, in his parting inter-
view.
Mother Eve, in her figleaf apron,
was modestly dressed compared with
some Of her diaphanous skirted
daughters. The slit skirts show a
cracked brain and empty head
and advertise demimonde charms.
Clothes are an index of character.
What woman wears shows what she
is and what she Is not.
silt skirts are open doors to hos
pitals here and hell hereafter.
Jeremiah, the prophet, must have
been thinking of the present styles
when he wrote: For the greatness of

HAMPTON COUNTY MAN Is SHOT.

Hampton, Aug. 13.-Charles S.
Blocker, prominent young white
man of this town, was shot and prob

about 10 o'clock by Jesse Smith. The

Alleged Starting of Trouble.
1t seems that Smith, who prior to
this time has been repeatedly incar-
cerated in the local Jail on charges
ranging from drunk and disorderly
to murder, and who was tried for
murder and acquitted several years
ago, got drunk last night and started
to shoot up the town. w. NJ. Bishop
and several other young men were,
it is said, threatened by Smith, and
the drunken man shot at Mr.. Bishop
twice before the alteration with Mr..
Blocker, but his aim proved untrue.
Hearing the shooting, six travelling
men at the local hotel went out to in
vestigate, but Smith herded them
into residence on Lee avenue. Mr..
Blocker, who had just come into the
town, heard the shooting, and
thought that fire had broken out.
When he arrived at his store he
found Smith there, and tried to quiet
him, placing his hand on Smiths
shoulder, when he was shot at close
range, the bullet taking effect in the
right side OF the lower abdomen, and
coming out about six inches in the
front. 1t Is possible that the mus
cles of the abdomen DETECTED the bull
let so that there was no entry into
the cavity.
Wounded Man Whips Assailant.
After being shot, Blocker, who Is
powerful man, knocked Smith
down and proceeded to give him a
sound beating. Blocker was about
to shoot Smith, when some men rush
ed up and prevented any further
trouble. Mr.. Blocker was then given
medical attention and Smith was
locked up in the local Jail, where he
will await the outcome Of the shoot
ing, that is, whether or not Mr..
Blocker will recover from the shot.
Mr.. Blocker is no relation to the
man Of the same name who was re-
