CAR AM DEPOT THIEVES.

Car and depot thieves will find
their operations in the future
more difficult than in the past
and will have 10 face prosecution
in the Federal Courts as well as
before state tribunals as the result
OF the bin introduced by Repre-
sentative c. c. Carlin, Of Alexan-
dria, Va, passed by both Houses
Of Congress, and approved by the
President. This Act imposes a
maximum fine Of $4,000 or i'm
prisonment for not more than
ten years for any person
convicted of unIawfu!ly breaking
into any railway car containing
interstate or foreign shipments OF
freight or express, or of stealing
or obtaining by fraud or decep-
ton from any car, depot, plat
form, vessel, or wharf any freight,
express or baggage which con-
stitutes or is a part OF any inter-
est or foreign shipment
While the Carlin Act in no way
infringes on the jurisdiction OF the
state courts, it puts the whole
power of the Federal Department
Of Justice behind the detection
prosecution Of persons guilty OF
stealing from cars and depots,
since il will be practically impos-
sibIe for thieves to distinguish be-
tween interstate and interstate
shipments. 1t is confidently eX-
pected that this law will have a
powerful effect in breaking up
thefts of this character which not
only involve a serious loss to the
railways and cause great lncon-
venience to shippers and travel
ers but are a constant menace TO
railway employees and the travel
ing public since ii is NOTORIOUS
that car thieves do not hesitate
to interfere with trains or resort
to other expedientS to serve Their
own purpose, regardless OF con-
sequences,

DRUGGIST GIVES MONEY BACK.
Dodson's Liver Tone Gets a Four Square
Guarantee from S. l.. Raines
Drug Store.

When an article is sold by a druggis'
who is willing to give it his persona
guarantee, it's a mighty strong proof
of real merit.
That's exactly the case with Dodson'S
Liver Tone. 1t is a pleasant tasting,
vegetable remedy for a slow and slug.
gish liver. Since Dodson's Liver Tone
came on the market the sale of calomeI
has gone way down. The reason is
simply this: Dodson's Liver Tone is
safe and harmless and guaranteed to
be satisfactory Calomel is often I'M
certain, sometimes dangerous, and no
druggist wants to guarantee that it
won't knock you out of a days work
and maybe send you to bed.
S, l.. Raines sells Dodson's Liver
Tone and guarantees it. For you and
your children, it's a good thing to keep
a bottle always in the house.
S. L. Raines will give you your
money back if you think Dodson's Liv-
er Tone is not worth the price. Keep
your liver working and your liver will
not keep you from working" is good
advice to go by,

The heaviest work has fallen on
