CALOMEL A GREAT
DANGER TO MANY
Has Bad Effect on Some-Dodson' S
Liver Tone Takes its Place and
is Perfectly Harmless

If you will inquire at Lake Phar-
macy you will find that Dodson's
Liver Tone is guaranteed to be a
safe. reliable remedy 10 take the
place of calomel and harmless liy-
er stimulant having no bad after
effects. Indeed. any OF these firms
will refund purchase price (50c)
without question if you are in any
way dissatisfied with this vegetable
liquid
1t is very unwise TO take calomel,
even dangerous, as many people suf-
fer from the poison afterwards ey-
N though they may appear at first
to be temporarily relieved. On the
other hand, Dodson's Liver Tone
works easily and naturally really
assisting nature with no pain nor
grippe and correcting all bilious con-
ditions and ills of constipation,
clearing away the sich headache and
the coated tongue. frightening up
the dulled brain and siren gthening
the weakened body az the same time
that ii removes collected waste from
the oyerburdrned system.
Those who have tried Dodson's
Liver Tone have found that il made
them healt.;eg and happier. \ test
may prove c: great benefit 70 you

1t is hard to realize that the ven
cradle New Orleans Picayune and
the Times Democrat OF that city
have been merged into one paper
and it gives a shock to learn that
the Richmond Times Dispatch, for
nearly a century owned and edited
by typical Virginians, has passed
into the hands of a New York man.
Newspapers have a certain personal
ity which we can come 10 love al
most as though they were warm and
breathing flesh and blood, dear old
friends who talk TO us and talk for
us and sympathize with us in our
sorrows and rejoice with us in our
JOYS, and when they pass away or
in anyway lose the personality we
cherished we feel that a friend is
dead or has become as a stranger.
The change will doubtless better the
three papers in question, but the at
mosphere" is gone and with il goes
sentiment and associations as prec-
ious as the lavender in which the
brocades of dear old gentlewomen if
the dead past were preserved.

the people OF Florida for help.
When YOU read this, reflect on the
character Of the work and send a
money contribution, even though it

The limit of unreasoning parti-
sanship has been pretty nearly
reached when a few newspapers in
Florida protest against the presence
of Senator Fletcher as an invited
guest at the meeting of the Press
Association in Fort Myers because
he is a candidate for reelection to
the Senate. Senator Fletcher is not
a private citizen; he is prominent
public servant. and since there have
been press associations il has been
the custom to invite distinguished
public men to be present and deliver
addresses and the associations were
always glad to get them. OF course
Senator Fletcher will not violate the
proprieties of the occasion by max
ing a speech to promote his candi-
dacy and his presence there will be
for precisely the same reason that
Vice President Marshall will be
there. Senator Fletcher is an emf
nent citizen of Florida and a gen.
tleman able TO talk Interestingly or
very many other subjects besides his
candidacy, and the association will
be glad to hear him even though a
few members will be made unhappy
bv the dreadful suspicion that he is
trying to sneak up on them while
they are not looking and bind them
hand and foot to his cause as can
didate for reelection.

FROM THE FARM
TO THE FIRESIDE

The farm-to-table delivery institut-
ed by the Postmaster General mas
been established in twenty-seven cities
in the United States. The institution
is part of the parcel post system and
the ARRANGEMENT is designed to estaD-
lish direct trading relations between
the producer and consumer and to
bring the two in direct communication
The postmasters are acting in the
capacity of clearing house managers
in furnishing price lists of the articles
of produce which farmers and truck
growers are prepared to send to city
customers.
The results which must be obtained
before the plan is. proved a success
are the standardizing of products SO
that there may be no misunderstood
ing, the ability Of the post office to
handle packages so as to be received
in good condition and, last but not
least, an honest purpose and patient
persistence of each party to the bar
gain to insure satisfaction to all con-
cerned.

Boston's Franklin Square House.

The home has been a success from
the start 1t provides not only good
rooms and good board ranging as low
as $425 a week, but also the young
women are furnished parlors, where
they can receive their friends, and
halls where they can have their own
entertainments, all the time with a
feeling that it is their own. A col
,lege dormitory could not be more
charming. There is nothing of an in
stitutional character about the under
taking, and there is TO religious or
sectarian purpose-the idea Is simply
to make every guest feel perfectly at
home-the walls are not covered with
rules and restrictions, and everywhere
there Is spirit Of womanliness and
nominees. Young women coming to
the city for a short time find it the
popular stepping place without suf-
ffering the strange loneliness Of ho'

House" by Flynn Wayne, in National

War and the Samoan islands.

A special link exists between Scot
land and the German Samoan islands,
which have just been occupied by a
British expeditionary force from New
Zealand. Most people know that Vail
ina, on the island Of Upolu, was the
home of Robert Louis Stevenson in the
closing years of his life. 1t Is not so
generally known that since his death
the house and estate (some 300 acres)
have been acquired by the German
government, and adapted for use as a
residence for the governor of German
Samoa. Though the British govern
ment renowned all rights over Sa-
moa in 1899, the group has remained
an important center for the activities
of the London Missionary society,
which has a large training college
few miles from Apia. From this col
Iege, which is on self-supporting
basis. native missionaries are sent to
all parts of the South seas. Until. a
couple of years ago the English lam
guage was officially, recognized in the
local courts, and although, as the re-
suit of an agitation in Germany, only
the German language is now recos-
nized, English IS still widely spoken
80 that the translation of the Islands
from a German to a British colony
should be an easy process.

Four-Footed Fire Fiqhte rs.

Time was when sheep were anath.
e11a in our forest reserves, because
they were supposed in some mysteri'
Gus fashion to kill the trees. Now
goats, far more omnivorous feeders
than sheep, are pastured in some ma
tional woods on the Pacific coast, that
they may browse down the underbrush
which is such a factor In the spread
ing of forest fires.
Angoras are used for this work, so
that they grow a crop of clothing ma
terial while eating brush. If some
Burbank would find way to deodorize
Billy and amputate his battering-ram
tendencies the economic standing Of
the goat would be assured.

THE VISION OF VICTOR HUGO

"a day will come when the only
battle field will be the market open

new ideas. A day will come when
bullets and bomb shells will be re-
placed by votes and by the venerable
arbitration OF a great sovereign SEN

will be exhibited in public museums
just as an instrument Of torture is
now, and people will be astonished
how such a thing could have been. A
day will come when these two inl-
mense groups, the United States OF
America and the United States of
Europe shall be seen placed in the
presence of each other, extending the
hand of fellowship across the ocean,
