REMEMBER YOUR LAST
 DOSE OF CALOMEL? !?

You probably recall the bad after-e effects of the calomel more than the sickness you took 1t for. You need never again go through with being all knocked out for a day or two by calomel.
 Next time your liver gets slug gish and inactive. we urge that you go to w. G. Ownbey for a bottle of Dodson $ Liver Tone, a splendid vegetable liquid medicine that will start your liver as sure ly as calomel ever did and with none of the after-effects of cal omel. It is absolutely harmless both to children and adults and demands no restriction of habits or diet.
 A large bottle of Dodson s Liv- CT Tone costs only fifty cents and the druggist who sells 1t guarantees 1t to take the place of calomel, and will refund yonr money if 1t fails i'll your ease or ii you are not satisfied.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-. October S1.-President
z. A. Steininger of the St Louis Federal
League club today said he personally
was opposed to paying 100000 a year
salary to Walter Johnson, the Nationals
! famed right handler, who is said to be
flirting with the outlaws.
Fielder Jones' manager of the st. Louis
Federals likewise is oppo sed to exor-
bitant salaries for bail players, and it
now appears that the "freball king will
not be afforded an opportunity to hurdle
to the independents.
"Just suppose we paid Johnson $4,000
season and he pitched forty games for
u.s. said Steininger. That would mean
$500 for each game he hurled. To get
back this money he would have to pass
at least 1000 fans through the pay gate
before we would procure receipts for our
expenses. AS the club would carry from
twenty TO twenty-five players whose sal
aries would have to be paid, to say moth
ing Of other expenses, the attendance
would have to be very bulky for US to
begin to break even, to say nothing Of
making money
Jones Not Chasing johnson.
Jones splashed cold water on the press
agent stories that were spread broadcast
a few days ago to the effect that he was
! in conference with johnson in Kansas or
Oklahoma by returning to st. Louis with
the announcement that he was not chas-
ing Walter Johnson. but was in Little
Rock trying TO sign third basenIan.
OF course, Johnson is worth any
sum lie can obtain, as he is 4 great
pitcher" said Jones, but the sum he
has intimated he would demand, if we
really got down to business, is a small
fortune. l don't know whether we will
be willing TO pay it,
Steininger admitted today that the
st. Louis club has been unsuccessful in
it's efforts to sign Jeff Tesreau, George
Burns and Art Fletcher. the three
Giants who were said to have been
willing to hurdle They are signed to

This latter move is a direct slap at
the players. who if the Federal League
wants them will not command the
Same amount of salary now that they

Forthcoming if they had to jump.
Mack evidently figures there is no
room on his team for any player who
dickers with the Feds, and in this re-
spect he IS about correct. What is
more. it looks like a clever stroke
against the outlaws to let them sign
these veteran pitchers at big figure,
FOR It is sure that they have not long
to go in base ball.
Manager Griffith when appfiSed of
the release OF the three Athletic pitch
erS expressed as much surprise as the
average fan. He refused to discuss the
matter, however. He was asked if he
int nded to make an effort to obtain
any OF these players for his pitching
staff, and he said he did not think so.
