DON'T TAKE WRONG MEDICINE.

If your liver gets lazy you need n
liver tonic, not merely a laxative for
the bowels. Many people take a sim
pie laxative when the liver gets slug
gish rather than take calomel, which
they know to be dangerous. But a
mere laxative will not start a slug
gish liver. What is needed is a tonic
that will liven up the liver without
forcing you to stay at home and lose
a day from your work.
You have such tonic in Dodson's
Liver Tone. DOdson's Liver Tone is
all that is claimed for it, because the
druggists who sell it agree to hand
back the money with a smile. to any
person not satisfied with the relief
Dodson's gives.
DCdS32's Lir9r Tone s& > 1egAtahl,s
liquid with very pleasant taste and
is prompt and reliable remedy for
constipation, biiousness, sour stom-
ach and torpid liver.
II. NJ. Barton and Norman Com
pany give it their personal guarantee.
Large bottle of Dodsons LIVER Tone
is only 80 cents. For chiluren or
grown people it is the ideal medicine.
Try 1t on the guarantee.-Adv.

About Holland and the Hollanders.

The saddest folk are the young
men not yet liable for service who
cannot persuade thu authorities to
give them uniform and rifle. The
students have formed committee,
and all young men not called to the
colors are invited to enroll them
selves as volunteers for any service
they can render to the State.
Some will get in the harvest, which
lies ripe, while the farmers sons and
laborers are in barrack or camp;
others will help the government in
it's measures for controlling food
prices, should shop-keepers be
tempted to seek extra profit.
Diamond Cutters Idle.
Il have offered to drive a railway
engine if the government wants any
help there" said young journalist
to-day. Il studied engineering for a
time, and l think that Is the way
can best serve the State"
The war has had the effect Of
throwing diamond cutters idle, and
they have found employment as
newspaper sellers in the street, thus
starting an industry new to Amster-
dam. Hitherto newspapers have
been sold only from shops and
kiosks. But the war crisis and the
demand OF the people, always In a
stolid, silent fashion, to hear the lat
est war news led the out-of-work dia-
mond cutters to suggest that they
should sell the papers in the streets.
So when you sit outside your cafe
well-dressed artisan walks sedate-
ly along with a neat bundle of papers
under his arms; there is no shouting
OF editions, of course, and no sensa-
tional contents bill. He offers you
the latest news with the shy air Of a
young lady selling tea cosies at her
first charity bazaar.

LOT war In silence, says an AmSt err
dam correspondent.
One had expected that the usual
scenes-cheering crowds as tie has
tily modified troops marched to
their positions, excited groups in the
streets discussing the news and gen.
eral popular enthusiasm. But, in
stead of that, Amsterdam is as silent
and ur emotional as ever. have
watcl ed the troops pass by, and they
go on without band or song, and |
have rot heard a single cheer from
the people, who gather casually as if
ashamed of showing interest to see
the soldiers.
Little groups gather around the
cafes and shops to read the latest tel
egrams, but there is no excited chat
ter or discussion-nothing but stolid
facts and silence. But 1t is the ST.
lence Of determination and strength.
1t is characteristic Of their quiet
courage that to an extent matched by
no other nation, the Dutch have pre-
pared for the worst in way that
must involve unparalleled sacrifice.
"Bloed or zweet ?" {blood or
sweat?D This is the question the
Dutch are to-day asking themselves.
Which is more precious, which more
painful to shed? And Holland,
;oh hoc hut NV hn
of it's people, says that blood must be
shed to spare the sweat of future
generations.
There must be no wars after this
great one. Some here call it the last
war, and prophesy that when it is
over men will have seen the madness
Of the Armageddon forced upon Eu-
rope by Germany. The Hague has
long been famous as a peace center,
and Rotterdam reflects The Hague
as The Haugue reflects Rotterdam.
After this war there must be disarm-
ament, and reduced taxation and rest
for all men. Germany must be
taught that she cannot any longer
mislead the world into waste of la
Dor caused by armaments.
Germany Wants Ports.
Holland knows that Germany
wants ports on the North Sea for
her navy, and that the Dutch ports
are geographically the most obvious
objects of her ambition. So in ST.
lence Holland is ready, having count
ed the cost.
The fI.t linO o. defense is il and
around Amensfoort. where the pick
of hvr army Oestridos the main road
between Amsterdam and Germany.
For woeh or more they have been
marching there, and l motored past
regiment after regiment of sturdy
little men In blue uniforms, nearly
all smoking cigars as they trudged
along in silence.
Every one OF those men is to be
sacrificed If the Germans come" said
prominent citizen of Amsterdam.
Not German must pass Amens-
foort while one Of our men is alive
to shoot
And after that? That is when
Holland will put into operation a
desperate plan worthy of a gallant
little nation, whose whole history
tells Of unfiinching struggles with
strong enemies, whether men or the
sea. Practically the whole north Of
Holland, with Amsterdam as the
center, lies below the sea level,
