ACTS ON The LIVER
Dodson's Liver Tone Livens Up the

Calomel was for years the only known
medicine that would stimulate the liver.
But calomel is often dangerous, and
people are not to be blamed for being
afraid of 1t.
Within ;he last few years many med

instead of caomel. but their effect Is on
the boweIs-not on the liver. Any deal

Of calomel is Dodson's Liver Tone, a
mild, harmless, vegetable liquid that all
druggists recommend to take the place
OF calomel and which gives prompt re

ness and sluggish liver.
SO confident are all druggists that
they give their personal guarantee with

Tone. You can he sure that you are

me regulation of the Secretary of
war. but the operation of consti-
tutonal statute enacted by the Con-
sress of the United States, that
serves TO suspend the operation of
state legislation not in harmony with
the Federal statute"
That the Governor himself realizes
some of the possible difficulties in the
way of maintaining the present sta
tuS of affairs in the military estab-
ilshment is clearly indicated by two
things First, his own suggestion of
legislative inquiry into the matter,
and, second, his specific permission
TO General Nash to reopen the ques-
tlon in the Executive Department
whenever, in the Adjutant Generals
opinion. that may seem advisable.
The present State Legislature is by
no means unanimous in it's favorable
attitude toward the military estab-
lishment of the tSate and there is
little doubt that some radical move
will be made early in the session to
get at the real merits of the Nash
Obear controversy, and maybe to go
pretty thoroughly into the entire
matter Of the State military organi-
cation.
