ANOTHER VIEW.
Baltimore News.

With the huge bodies of men en- actual number of those killed outright cannot but be very great. There is hope, however, that the secondary horrors of war have been brought yn- der control to such an extent that the sufferings of men will be less. even though the number of deaths may be greater.
 The use of the typhoid vaccine prac- tically has eradicated typhoid fever from all armies, and there is little danger from that source. The modern high-power rifle with it's needle-point- ed bullet either Kills man instantly if it hits vital spot or else makes so clean a wound that there is quick recovery and, it is reported, but little pain.
 A volume on medical surgery by Dr. Octave Laurent, who served through the Balkan War, has just aP- peared Much of the material is use full in throwing light on the medical side of the present conflict, The dis coveries made by pr. Laurent as to the actual effects of modern bullets were notable He reports cases Of bullets trayersiag the brain, piercing the chest, and penetrating the abdo- men without causing death, or velo- city of the bullets now used is so great he found that even bones were perfo- rated with only insignificant traces of the passage of the bullet and pr. Laurent concludes that in only 1 per cent of the cases treated in the hos pitals was amputation necessary,
 Dr. Charles II. Mayo has expressed the opinion that "the death rate will be far less" in the present war than in some wars of the past There may be some doubt as to whethel~the actual death rate on the field may not be greater, but there can be httle doubt that the death rate which comes from disease or minor injuries badly treated will he lower than in any war prior to the Russian-Japan- ese War

CAPITOL CONTRACTOR VISIT
 ING IN LITTLE ROCK

Little Rock. Aug 31.-George W. Caldwell of the contracting firm of Caldwell X Drake, is again visiting in
 Little Rock and may compete for some extensive work soon to be un- dertaken in this section of the state. As the claims of the contracting firm for work done on the State Capitol have several times been ignored by the legislature, Mir. Caldwell has about given up hope from that section though he has never ceased to hope for an investigation, which he says will surely result in his favor if gone into thoroughly, and without partial lty being shown on either side. Mir. Caldwell is now engaged in erecting large public buildings in several Northern states. He will remain in this vicinity for several days.

THE END OF A NATION
Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Last week the Cherokee Nation ceased to exist. The Indians, as citi- zens of the Commonwealth of Oklaho- ma and possessing the full rights of American citizenship, had no longer any need of thefr tribal government. The tribal funds will be divided among the members of the tribe. Among other distinguished men Unit ed States Senator Owen will receive a share, which will amount to about S15.
 The Cherokees, under largely unre- stricted self government, made re- markable strides. They alone of the civilized Indians, possessed an alpha bet and written language. The al phabet was the invention of a full blooded Cherokee, and is still used for the printing ot newspapers and for of ficial documents.
 The progress of the Cherokees has been a convincing proof of the-excel- fence of the American Indian when he is uncorrupted by the white mans evils. The Cherokees conducted their own affairs, and vigorously excluded the Indian eXploiter. They are the best of the five civilized tribes, but the advance of the other four is only less remarkable. Instead of be- ing a vanishing race the Indians of Oklahoma are multiplying in num- bers.
 The other four nations have also signed treaties with the United States by which they undertake to abolish their tribal governments. They have progressed more slowly than the Creokees, however, and are not yet ready to give up their individuality.

DRUGGISTS WON'T
 GUARANTEE CALOMEL

But they do guarantee Dodson's Liver Tone with money-back offer. The next time you think you need a dose of calomel, don't take it. Even if you have taken it often before, this might be the very dose that would saliyate you and make you sick. The use of calomel is sometimes followed by very dangerous after-effects. If you are constipated or bilious or if your liver has gotten lazy and inac- tive two or three doses of Dodson's Liver Tone, the pleasant tasting veg etable liquid will make you feel like new"
 Hesterly Drug Store would not rec ommend Dodson's Liver Tone in place of calomel if they were not willing to fully guarantee it. So anybody who buys bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone of them and does not find it a remedy that absolutely takes the place of cal omel may come into the store any day and get his or her money back.
 Dodson's Liver Tone has positively no bad after effects and can do no harm to children or to grown-ups.

Police in Movies Answer Fake Riot
 Call to Find it Real.

Having obtained the services of Mayor James Rolph of San Francisco and Mrs. Rolph in "A Modern Rip Van Winkle,' a new American Mutual film drama, the director went a bit farther and impressed the headquar- ters force of the Los Angeles police for the same play.
 Vivian Rich was in police headquar- ters when flake" riot call came in. The police immediately were forced to answer the call, which summoned them to the scene of murder" The flake" call came in all right, and the police hurried out to answer it, only to find that there was more than a moving picture in it,
 As the uniformed men got to the head of the steps man came rushing up and eXcitedly told them that a woman had been killed a few blocks away Instantly they increased their speed and the director wondered how they suddenly had become so much better actors, Now the police force of Los Angeles is wondering whether there is any telepathic side to being a director,
