DON'T TAKE CALOnEL
HERE'S A BETTER REMEDY

Taking calomel is mighty risky
and often times dangerous.
You ought to get along without
taking calomel yourself or giving it
to your family, when you can get a
remedy that takes it's place. Dod-
sons Liver Tone is an agreeable
vegetable liquid that starts the liver
to action just as surely as calomel
does. But, unlike calomel, Dodson's s
Liver Tone does not stimulate the
liver too much. It gives relief gent
ly. Calome1 acts SO strongly that
it may leave you worse than you
were at first, and ca1omel also some
times causes salvation Dodson's S
Liver Tone works well and never
harms.
A large bottle of Dodson's Liver
Tone is sold for fifty cents by the
X-Ray Pharmacy. 1t always has
given such perfect satisfaction that
your money will be given back to
you with a smile if you buy a bot
tie and are not perfectly satisfied
with it in every way.

Farmer, Waterloo, Iowa.
The agricultural editors tour of
Louisiana has just closed This was
great plan of publicity which will
Enthusiastically work for the good of
both the agricultural men in the
north and the farmers and large land
holders of the south.
Louisiana is in a peculiar posi-
ton just at the present time She
has problems to solve that demand
the keenest consideration and the
clearest insight. Their solution is
on and will Influence her future pros
perity. A change in her agricultural
policies is inevitable, and it was
with view of getting suggestions
and hints from those who are accus-
toned to the lines of farming that
must be adopted that this tour was
undertaken.
The idea is broad minded and far
reaching in it's effect. A number
Of agricultural editors were invited
to tour the state as guests of the
commonwealth. The entire round
was made, covering every phase of
work and every condition to be
found in agricultural Louisiana. On
the second day of the trip the party
was welcomed by Governor Hall and
a reception was held in the state
house by the state legislature, then
in session, together with the other
officials of the capitol.
At each point where stops were
made the visitors were given an op-
portunlty to see the conditions un-
der which farm work is carried on.
To the northern men this view of
southern farming was most interest
ing. The trip was made at the
height of the growing season when
the crops were in their prime. In
this way an opportunity was afford
ed to study at first hand many Of
the lines of work that differ widely
from those followed in northern
sections
Agriculture in Louisiana is Just
in its infancy when We think of it
as found in the north. Diversified
farming is bound to succeed the one
crop systems that have been pre-
valent. This state is well adapted
to the majority of the crops that are
raised in the north. AS a corn
state especially it is little short Of
wonderful Some of the corn crops
that were seen during this trip
would make a northern farmer ieal-
ous Of the honors so long held by
corn belt states. The southern state
has soil that is adapted to almost
every type of farming, labor is
cheaper, the growing season is long
er and the markets are waiting.

Fine Openings IL Civil Service.

Secretary z. H. Jennings, of the
Tenth United States Civil Service
District. with headquarters in New
Orleans, stated recently that Louis
ianians who desire good federal posi-
tions are losing golden opportunities
to secure them by not taking the.
many civil serviceexaminations that
are held in New Orleans from time to
time. especially as#Louisiana's quota
of such positions in the department
al service in Washington is far from
being filled.
Recent information sent Secretary
Jennings : from Washington shows
thai ssasslIs S ten q.
list Of 81 states and territories in
point of their deficiency IN the
number of appointments allowed
them in proportion to their popu-
lation In other words, - states
and territories have come nearer
getting their dues in this respect
than Louisiana.
"This is altogether an unneces-
sary condition of affairs" said Sec
retary Jennings, and could easily
be obviated by young Louislanians
taking a proper interest in trying the
examinations regularly held in this
state. which would land many of
them in positions in the depart
mental service in Washington with
good salaries. We are always glad
to give any information regarding
the scope and time of these ex-
| aminations and would take pleasure
in encouraging citizens of this state
| to enter them.
ssA number of examinations for
| both local and departmental posi-
tions in Washington will be held
here this fall, and it is to be hop
ed that Louisianians will take ad-
| vantage of them, as applicants from
| this state are particularly wanted. ;"

What's IN a Name?

Some heavy portent may lurk in
the unWillingness of our fellow
townsman, William Edenborn, to
take his German-fIavored name off
the signboard of the little station
fast beside the village that once was
labeled with the proud Spanish name
of Gonzales.
It can't be mere fame, that last
infirmity of noble minds, which
causes Friend Edenborn to cling
this obdurately to this perishable
link to immortality, up there along
his arduous right-of-Way Through the
romantic Creole population. The
fact that William Edenborn is one
of the most self-effacing of those
that the DiscoFerer of the River CT
Doubt has called our Malefactorss OF
Great Wealth forbids the suggestion
Of vanity.
A man of William Edenborn's S
scope, moreover, seeking for a
worthy place to hang sign that
bore his name, could tack it on the
storm-defying face of the palatial old
freight car that forms the L. R. and
Ms terminal facilities in that me-
tropolis of clan politics, Baton
Rouge. Any NJ. of G. w. who owns
railroad all by himself is not limit
ed in his ambition to single little
jumping-off: place by the rivers
blooming bank
Whatever the mystery hides, the
persistency of the hated name is IT.
rltatlng enough to SO yeomen OF the
erstwhile village of Gonzales to carry
them all the way to the capital TO
protest against the obliteration OF
their former postoffice address. SONS
say the railway wouldn't go to Con
zales, and therefore Gonzales went
to the railway, not suspecting that il
was condemning itself to stagger On

Will someone please tell me why

me his only function is to draw his

are of no benefit to the depositor.
Recent bank failures have shown
that the banks involved We're in fail

they finally closed their doors; yet
they were allowed to continue, and
to receive the deposits of the unsus-

closure. Had they been closed
months before, thousands of dollars
would have been saved to the public.

been made penniless; old men whose
lifetime savings have been swept
away; day laborers who have toiled
in heat and cold, rain and sunshine,
depriving themselves of all the COM

and then have seen their savings
wiped out.
It is things Of this kind which
