BERLIN. Sept. 12.-Certain Ber-
line newspapers give notice to a wild
rumor that the United States is about
TO declare war on Germany They
base this assertion upon the fact that
Ambassador Gerard has been sending
every American citizen out OF the
country with all possible speed.
Instead of realizing that this was
being done to relieve Germany of the
care of these Americans during the
war, certain persons contend it is an
act of bad grace on the part Of the
American am bassadOr
Ambassador Gerard is most en-
phatic in denOuncing the absurd
statement Of the German papers.
The friendly relations between the
two countries have in no way been
disturbed he stated and the prepOs-
ferrous announcements are without
doubt due To the nervous state OF
some oVerwOrked local newspaper
men. Serious persons here put no
belief in such reports.

CALOMEL MAY
HURT YOUR LIVER

Every time you take this powerful
drug you are in danger. Take Dod-
jbn's Liver Tone instead. Calomel
is made from mercury, and while
mercury has many valuable uses, 1t
is dangerous thing to swallow. If
3calomel stays in the system very
long 1t salivates. Even when it
works naturally, it's after-effects are
often bad.
The Standard Drug Company will
sell you Dodson's Liver Tone, which
is positively guaranteed to take the
place of calomel. Liver Tone stimu-
lates the liver just enough to start it
working, and does not make you
sicker than ever-as calomel 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 children as
for adults.
Try a large bottle for fifty cents
kunder the guarantee that your money
will be given back cheerfully ii
you're not satisfied.
