CONSTIPATION MAY
CAUSE APPENDICITIS

Some People Only Ealf Alive bod
sons LIVER Tone Cleans You
Dat and Wakes You Up.
When constipation is having its
Ievil effects on your body and brain
Nature is doing her best to offset
them and overcome the cause itself
But usually Nature cannot do this
unaiGed.
In the past, many sufferers at such
a time used to turn to dangerous
calomel in hope of relief. For some
people calomel does appear to give
temporary benefit, but as a matter
OF fact 1t is a poison that proves to
be injurious and even dangerous TO
many. If you have ever taken Gallo.
mel you probably have suffered from
evil conditions following its use.
But nowadays great numbers of
people have learned how to feel bet
ter, brighter and healthier by taking
Dodson's Liver Tone instead of Gallo
mel. Indeed, this harmless vegetable
liquid is recommended ard euarap
teed by Walton & Smoot, who will
refund the purchase price to You with
out question If you are not completely
satisfied with it.
Get bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone
for only SOC. and learn for yourself
how easily and naturally it assists
Nature In getting rid Of and correct
ing constipation and biliousness, how
it clears away the sick headache and
coated tongue and sets you right
without ache or grippe, without any
Interference with your regular habits.
Fine for the children. Toey like to
take it. adv

LETTER FROM JAPAN.

The following extracts from a |
letter from Rev. Charles w. Hep
ner to his mother will prove of in i
terest to our readers:
Kumamoto, Shikencho,
Gobanchi, Feb. IL, 1914.
Recently, last Saturday (Feb.
y Mr.. Horn and went to Kagos-
kima to see Sakarajima, the vol
cano, which erupted about month
ago. The craters are still active,
belching forth smoke. ashes, steam
and stones all the time. The bed
OF hot lava is miles in length and
over a mile in width. The lava
came out on opposite sides of the
mountain and ran down into the
sea. Think of it, the sea in a whole
month has not cooked the lava,
which is still boiling and steaming.
We went right up to it, so that we
could smell the sulphur fumes from
the steam coming from the cooking
| lava.
| Large stones as large as hogs
head were thrown about mile. The
ashes from the volcano travelled
about three hundred miles. We in
: Kumamoto, one hundred miles away
got less than IL inch of them, In
Kagoshima, just across the BAY from
the volcano, nearly every house was
damaged; great stone walls were
tumbled down by the awful earth
quakes. The people all fled from
the city, and later the soldiers wen
in to guard property. You remem
Der last Fall, l went to Kagoshim;
on a school excursion, at which
time, we climbed half way Vi
Sakurajima, but on account of. tn,
rain did not go all the way up.
. wish you could see an active vol
cano. 1t is a wonderful sight.
i. have seen three of the largest in tn
> world, Aso, Asama, and Sakura
jima. Just last night we felt Sigh
earthquake, but we do not mir,
J. them much, SO long as they are nc
Al too severe.
I'll l do hope you have not bee
e anxious about my safety, becaus
f. the reports in America were great
J. exaggerated, with regard to loss Q
life. 1t is very remarkable that onl
I very few lives were lost not owe
- ten or fifteen.
r. Please remember that when any
thing happens me, if by chance
should, that you will know it b
cable not over twenty-four hour
later. My friends will be sure t
cable you if anything at all seriou

WOMEN CONE OUT
AGAINST SALOONS

Chicago, April 7.-Reports
rom the battlefields OF the vets
and the drys all over the state
indicate a sweeping victory tori
the anti-saloon forces. The vote
of women participating IN an
election of this nature in limos
for the first time, was determ-
in,ng factor in almost every
county and city, where the county
option issue was clear-cut.
Over and oyer again it was
demonstrated that where a ma
iority of men voted tor saloons
the women voted against them.
The vets carried Springfield
the State capital, which furnish
ed the hottest fight OF the day..
The ma jority was $500 and IN
this single instance the men ana
women both voted the wet ticket
The result is a sweeping
factor for the drys," said the
superintendent of the Anti-Sa-
loon League tonight. The IN
dications are that we have car
ried nine out Of every ten coun'
ties in which the liquor PROPOSE
ton was submitted to a vote.

CHICAGO. Dec. %. - Competition
never again will control the industry
Of the country, declared Pres't Charles
K. Van Hise of the University of Wis
COnsin, at the winter cOnVocation OF
the University Of Chicago Tuesday.
His subject was "Federal, Antitrust
Legislation"
The tendency toward cooperation
is much stronger in the Goth cen
fury" he said, thar competition was
formerly. Competition will never be
restored sufficiently to control prices
and products.
Another line of solution must fol-
low the attempt to restore competition
which IS certain TO be futile"
Mr. Van Hise asserted that most big
corporations were not mOnopolies. He
said they were the result of a ten
dency universal in scope.
1t is not enough to handle this
problem by a few sporadic prosecu-
tons in court. We have here a uni
versal phenomenon in which every
business man at some time in his life
has broken the law"

DECKER SUBMITS REPORT
ON TURKISH INCIDENT
Believe Tennessee Captains Account
Belief Firing Was UnfriendIy.

WASHINGTON, Dec. "a full
and detailed account of the Smyrna
incident" in which Capt Benton c.
Decker Of the United States cruiser
Tennessee, asserted that one of his
boats was fired at by the Turkish
fort, has been received at the navy
department and is being handled by
Rear Admiral Bradley Fiske, with the
state department.
Only a brief report Of this affair
was received by a cable at the time
from Capt Decker, but in that he as
serted that the boat was fired lat" and
that it was at the time on its way TO
make a call of courtesy" on the
Turkish officials at Smyrna. Part
even of this brief dispatch was sup
pressed for some time at the navy
department.
1t was learned Tuesday night that
Capt. Deckers report confirms in
minute detail all that he had pre-
viously said and navy officers say that
the circumstances and Decker's re-
port itself have not room for the be-
lief that the Turkish firing was on
"unfriendly act"
Before the full report was received
at Washington, and il arrived only
Tuesday, Sec'y of State Bryan an
nounced suddenly at the state depart
ment about two weeks ago that the
incident was closed"
He had received and given out the
views of the affair as furnished by
the Turkish officials as obtained from
the commandant of the fort at Smyrna
where it was alleged the "unfriendly
act" had taken place.
