DANGEROUS CELOMEL
GOING OUT OF Use

A safe, more reliable remedy has
taken its place in the drug store and
in the home. A few years ago men.
women and children took calomel fo.'
sluggish liver and for constipation
and many do so still. They take con-
siderable risk when they do so, for
calomel is dangerous drug. Your
family doctor will be the first to tell
you this if he discovers you dosing
yourself with calomel
But the drug trade has found a
safe, pleasant remedy to take the place
of calomel in Dodson's Liver Tone.
Hooks Pharmacy and Howells Phar-
macy and W A. Rembert, druggist,
sell Dodson's Liver Tone in hundreds
of cases of biliousness and liver
trouble where calomel used to be
taken.
Dodson's Liver Tone is vega-
table liver tonic that is absolutely
harmless for children and grown peo-
pie. 1t sells for so cents a bottle AMI
is guaranteed to be entirely satisfac-
tory by the druggists who sell it, and
they will refund your money with q
smile if Dodson's does not give as
quick relief as calomel without any of
calomePs bad effects advt

Halv's Uncertain Attitude

Italy is practically prepared for war,
having more than half million of men
under arms, and her people sympathize
with the allies and want to take part in
the war, being particularly hostile 10
Austria. Apparently the Italians think
that the allies are going to win in the
present conflict and that Italy should
be in a position to annex certain bord
er lands now under Austrian DONNA
ton. If they could have their way war
would be declared on Austria at once.
If that step should be taken it is prac-
tically certain that Austria would soon
be put out of the fighting.
The government of Italy, however,
is in no hurry to take part in the war.
In the first place it is not in a financial
condition to declare war, the nation
debt being very large and particularly
burdensome, and in the second place
Italy has no good excuse to take part
in the war against her former allies.
Germany and Austria-Hungary
She was a member of the triple al
lance and Germany and Austria-Hun-
gary called her to their assistance
when the war broke out.
She couldn't respond because her
people were against fighting for Aus
tria. If the government had taken side
with Germany and Austria-Hunga"y
the chances are there would have been
a revolution in Italy. Besides. her
agreement with the triple alliance re-
quired her to assis in defensive war
only, and as she wasn't consulted about
the present war she felt that sac
wasn't under obligation to respond to
the call of the other two members CT
the alliance.
1t is question, however, whether
she will be able to keep out of the war.
Apparently she doesn't expect to be
able to, since she has modified her
army. If she gets into the conflict it
will undoubtedly be on the side of the
allies. Her interests and the sympath-
les of her people are on that side. I'm
der the circumstances she couldn't al
ford to cast her fortunes with Germany
and Austria-Hungary. When the time
is ripe she may join forces with the
allies and be the means of ending the
war in their favor-Savannah News.

WHAT IS CONSPIRACY9
New York Evening World.)

New York Evening World)
Half million dollars cleaned up in
a single grain deal on the New York
Produce Exchange!
Half million helpless people on the
east side watching their loaves of
bread grow smaller and smaller as the
price of flour goes up!
That what the war has meant to
New Yorkers-not because of fighting
or fear of famine, not because of any
lack of the wheat with which the couu-
try teems-but because food handlers
and spectators read the news, laid
their plans and took their profits out Of
the boosted prices. Members of the
Produce Exchange point to eight or ten
men who have cleared from S25, 900 to
100000 each through the rise in -four
and grain. Others have made similar
hauls by the artificial advance of sugar
and coffee.
In Norway a few food dealers took
advantage of the war to put up prices.
They plundered the public for exactly
two days. Then the Government step
ped in and forced them to restore 10
their customers the money they had
exacted in overcharges. When market
keepers in Holland tried similar
game the Government promptly shut
up their shops.
This is civilized country, enjoying
PEACE and a year of plentiful crops. Is
it going to let light-fngered experts ol

WAR IN CHRLSTENDOM

The followers of the Prince of Peace
are setting a strange example before
the heather. Wars have been contin-
ually held up to the uncivilized nations
as a relic of barbarism and sayagery
and yet at the present time, do we be-
hold the greatest tragedy of war that
has ever taken place under the sun.
Why do the Christians rage? The
scriptural inquiry should be reversed.
What has become of the Hague Tri-
bunal for the settlement of momentous
questions and the avoidance of war? l.
must be operating under difficulties, if
at all. But the War Lord has his
hands full at the points of contact,
near the firing line.

100000 Hindoos; 2OO,OOO,OOO Budhists

~ THE RUMSELLER'S DIAMOND =
+ = + = + T. = 4 = = = =
A rumseller rich from the spoils of his
trade,
Was reading one ray that chemist
had made
A diamond so perfect it couldn't be
told
From the prettiest sparkler that ever
was sold.
This rumseller, just like the rest of
his kind,
Had a weakness for gems; so it enter
ed his mind
To order one made, and the very same
day
He wrote out his order in somewhat
this way:
Dear Chemist: Please make me the
sort of stone
That prosperous wine merchant
gladly would own.
1 want it to weigh about so many
grains,
And I'd like brief statement of what
it contains"
The chemist replied: mot a gem
have l wrought
But to bartenders' diamonds, I've given
some thought.
OF the things they contain you have
asked for a list;
Well, l can't name them all, but these
few will assist.
Some cheap ones are made from
mans broken vows,
Who had CHANGED to recover from one
nights carouse,
There are others more costly: They're
made of the lives
Of the thousands that perish where one
man survives.
There are some pure white, like the
finest of pearls
These are made from the souls of the
boys and girls
Whose paths were at first with bright
promises strewn
Till their feet led them into the open
saloon.
The clear crystal ones are of wom-
anhood's tears,
Condensed from the pitifuI anguish of
years,
And the rarest that ever I've seen in
my life,
Were of tears of daughter, a mother,
wife.
BIT the list must end here, for it
sickens my heart
To tell of the depths of this devilish
art
That thrives on the souls it has power
to convert
Into studs for the front of rumsel-
lers shirt
