SOME INTERESTING FACTS
Regarding Laboratory of Chamber
lain Medicine Co., Des Moines.

Regarding Laboratory of Chamber
lain Medicine Co., Des Moines.
A person purchasing a bottle of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has
no conception of the magnitude of
the laboratory where this medicine is
manufactured. The machinery and
apparatus used in its preparation
was designed especially for the pur-
pose and cost several thousand dol
lars. Europe, South America and
the United States supply the vs. srious
ingredients Of this remedy, and only
the highest obtainable quairty is
used. No pain or expense has been
spared in making 1T as nearly per-
feet as possible.
A force of helpers representing
homes enough to populate an average
Iowa town are regularly employed at
the plant Of the Chamberlain Medi-
cine Company at Des Moines, Iowa.
Their printing department, which is
usually overlooked in calculating the
expense of business of this kind,
ranks as one Of the best in the State,
and Is thoroughly equipped with au-
tomato presses and folders Of the
latest improved type. Here enough
print paper is used in one year to
spread over ten farms of $50 acres
each, upon which is printed advertis-
ing matter, directions and labels in
2o different languages and dialects.
Enough lumber is used in making
the cases in which the medicines are
shipped to build an 8-room house on
each of these ten farms every three
months. The bottles used by this
hrm every year, which are filed by
machinery at the rate of 1000 per
Sour, IL placed end to end would
reach across the United States seven
lines or almost encircle the globe. ad

CALONEL MAY HURT
YOUR LIVER.

Every time You take this powerful
drug you are in danger. Take Dod..
sons Liver Tone instead. Calomel is
made from mercury, and while mer-
curry has many valuable uses, it Is a
dangerous thing to swallow. If calo-
mel stays in the system very long 1t
salivates. Even when it works natu-
rally, its after-effects are often bad.
Norman Co. and -. w. Barton
will sell you Dodson's Liver Tone,
which is positively guaranteed to
take the place Of calomel. Liver
Tone stimulates the liver just enough
to start 1t working, and does not
make you sicker than ever-as calo-
mel often does. You feel good after
taking Dodson's and it won't force
you to stop eating or working after
taking it. 1t is as beneficial for chill
dren as for adults.
Try large bottle for fifty cents
under the guarantee that your money
VIII be given back cheerfully if you
are not satisfied.--Adv.

Summer Constipation Dangerous.

Constipation in summertime is
more dangerous than in the fall, win
ter or spring. The food you eat is
often contaminated and is more
likely to ferment in your stomach.
Then you are apt to drink much cold
water during the hot weather, thus
injuring your stomach. Collie, fever,
ptomaine poisoning and other ills are
natural results. Po-Do-LaX will
keep you well, as it increases the

KNOWS THEM TO BE FRAUDS.
Plenty of Worthy Institutions that
We Know to Support.
(Abbeville Medium.l


Every now and then this commu-
nifty, in common witawothers, is Wis
tied by travelling = ians, usually
going in pairs, who Claim to be So
Letting aid for "Christian Orphan
ages in Turkey, or Egypt, or some
other foreign country. Sometimes
they pretend to represent "Christian
Schools" in some far-away land.
They are frauds, pure and simple.
About two weeks ago two Of these
gentry visited Abbeville. They were
equipped win testimonials signed by
well known religious 70" 6ors, as is
usual with them. One Of them car
ried a paper written on letter head
of the American Baptist Publication
Society, OF Philadelphia, one Of the
leading religious publishing houses
Of the world. This letter certified
that the bearer was Deacon David
Zedak," and that he was soliciting
funds for "Christian orphanage at
Malta, Egypt" Doubling the authen-
ticity of the letter one of the Able
Vile pastors wrote to the publishing
house and asked for information. He
has received a reply which states
that the American Baptist Publish
ing Company knows nothing about
the Syrian peripatctic beggars.
There are enough worthy institu-
tions of charity in this land and even
in this State to employ all the, means
the tender-hearted may have to be-
stow. And no other will be robbed
if all contributions are made to those
OF which we know.
1t is a good thing, on general prin-
ciples, to deny all calls for money
made by strangers. The pastors Of
the several chruches well know the
fraudulent schemes used by unscru-
pulous men to mulct the unsuspect-
ing; and the churches of Abbeville
maintain worthy charitable institu-
tions through regular denominations
al channels.

seriously damaged to-day and one

paid no heed to the harbor regula-

bows did not stop her and the third
shell then struck amidship. A gov

Deacon David Zedak" is the same
pious-looking foreigner who called"
on Walhalla people a few weeks
since, receiving not a little lift" in
the way of financial aid for "educa-
tional institutions" in a far-off land.
1t is Unfortunate that such impcs-
tets are going about the country
thus soliciting, for doubtless there
foreign lands which the funds thus
contributed and collected would ma
terially benefit. But there are regu-
lar channels through which contri-
buttons intended for such would be
certain to reach their proper desti-
nation. So long as there are impos-
rers going about soliciting "ln His
Name" it would be just as we'll to
turn down" all solicitors unless they
are personally known. 1t is folly TO
support gangs Of shiftless imposters
and neglect worthy institutions.
There are lots of good people who
have long followed the practice of
contributing to all on the theory that
it is better to be victimized occa-
sionally than to refuse response to
possibly a worthy cause. But the
best plan is unquestionably to con-
tribute direct through regularly au-
thoriZed channels and thus be certain
Of carrying out ones good Intentions
and at the same time resting easy In
the certainty that ones hard-earned
money is not going to aid in the sup
port OF some member OF a gang Of
imposters too lazy to work for liv-
ing.-Ed. Courier.

Urges Big Park Plan

The proposed 100,000-acre national
park in Maryland, between Baltimore
and Washington, as provided for in the
bill now in the hands of Senator John
Walter Smith, was the subject of an
address Monday evening at the Hotel
Stafford, Baltimore, by B. Howard
Hannah at the annual meeting of the
Southern Maryland Society.
About Is men were gathered at the
meeting, of which William l.. Marbury.
president of the society, was chairman,
and following MI. Haman's address
there was, a discussion of the project,
in which number of persons took
part. The society voiced its warm ap-
proval of the movement thus to set
aside and beautify great tract OF land
in Southern Maryland for national
playground and forest reserve.
Mr.. Haman, while admitting the
magnitude of the undertaking in that
it would be something in the'way of an
innovation, emphasized the statement
that the cost of bringing the plans to
naturalization would not exceed that
of building single battleship.
Taking up the project from the time
the establishment of such park was
first suggested by William M. Ellicott,
the Baltimore architect, Mr.. Hannah
spoke of the address made about two
wears ago in the Belvedere Hotel by
James Bryce, then British Ambassador
in which the English statesman urged
the advisability of setting aside an area
contiguous to the national capital for
reserve open at all rimes to persons
from all over the nation and to foreign
ers visiting this country. Until ne
heard Ambassador Bryce, said Mr.. Ha
man, he had no conception of the big
| ness and the splendid possibilities OF
the proposed plan.
He spoke of the constitutionallty OF
the pending bill, the practical useful
ness Of such a forest and park, the
magnificent setting it would furnlsf
| for the national capital and 1.-The IN
estimable benefits that would accrue
| through it for countless generations tt
the people of the United states.
Such a forest, he said, would form
sort of gigantic outdoor laboratory, II
| which experiments could be cerried OF
at first hand by the scientists of the
Bureau of Forestry in Washington
