Chocolate Soldiers.

The soldiers weakness for sweet meats, to which MT. Bernard Shaw called attention when he wrote Tho Chocolate Soldier" has been abund- antly confirmed during the present war. The quantity of sweets con- sumed by our army in France has been prodigious, while from Cairo comes the news that the Australians have absolutely eaten the place out of chocolate. On the troopships which brought them, too, it was the same. Thus Capt Bean, the official correspondent with the force, writes:
 Our canteen had five times the de- mand for sweets and soft drinks that was expected and one-fifth the de- mand for beer."-W Westminster Gazette.

"MASON AND DlXON'S LINE"
Popular Misapprehension as to Mean ing of Term and Just What the
 Phrase Implied.

Very incorrect is the general belief that Mason and Dixon's line, as orig inally laid off, divided the slave-hold- ing states from the free states. On the contrary, it ran for one-third of it's whole length between Maryland and Delaware, both of which were slaveholding states at the time. The line was run purely to settle bound ary dispute between Pennsylvania, Maryland and Delaware.
 All the same, the actual Mason and Dixon's line was as much synonym for trouble and dissension in its day as was the figure of speech to which in after years it gave rise. And the phrase will hold bitter meaning to some until Gin that looked-for day of charity to all men) shall be fulfilled Dr. John Wyeth's recent prophecy that When the people of the South and the North get together they will forget there was ever a Mason and Dixon's line.'-Southern Woman's Magazine.

UGH! CALOMEL MAKES YOU SICK!
 CLEAN LIVER AND BOWELS MY WAY
Just Once! Try "Dodsons Liver Tone" When Bious Cons
 pated Headachy-Don't Lose Days Work

Liven up your sluggish liver! Feel fine and cheerful; make your work a pleasure; be vigorous and full of am bition. But take no nasty, danger ous calomel, because it makes you sick and you may lose a days work.
 Calomel is mercury or quicksilver, which causes necrosis of the bones. Calomel crashes into sour bile like dynamite, breaking it up. That's when you feel that awful nausea and cramping.
 Listen to me! If you want to enjoy the incest, gentlest liver and bowel cleansing you ever experienced just take a spoonful of harmless Dodson's Liver Tone. Your druggist or dealer sells you 50 cent bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone under my personal money
The Spectator., 1915-06-01

back guarantee that each spoonful will clean your sluggish liver better than a dose of nasty calomel and that it won't make you sick.
 Dodson's Liver Tone is real liver medicine. You'll know it next morn- ing, because you will wake up feel ing fine, your liver will be working, your headache and dizziness gone. your stomach will be sweet and your bowels regular.
 Dodson's Liver Tone is entirely vegetable, therefore harmless and cannot salivate. Give it to your chil- dren. Millions of people are using Dodson's Liver Tone instead of dan- gerous calomel now. Your druggist will tell you that the sale of calomel is almost stopped entirely here.

ALL SEEK FOR HAPPINESS
The One Thing for Which Mankind May Be Said to Have Univer-
 sal Desire.

We cannot pick and choose the can select the circumstances of our birth and death; we are but creatures of a wonderful destiny directed by the Almighty. It is said that many tragedies of life might be averted if we took our medicine like men" and above everything else. It is as nat ural and to be expected to long for happiness and to cling to it as for the flowers to turn to the sun Happiness is the great lamp of life which lights our way through all sorts of shad- ows-shadows that blur the vision and make long nights of our days, shadows that terrify by their gro- tesQue shapes and threatening as- poets. and shadows that bury in their depths much that we hold most dear. We are jealous of our happiness and guard it. as the most precious thing in life and when we watch it go down and further away from our yearning eyes we begin to plead for it, and strive for it, and fight for it. We batter the walks of the past in our vain efforts to call it back before it is too late and spend long days and waste precious strength in the futile endeavor to clutch it back to our hearts And all the while, perhaps right at our hands within easy reach, happiness in new guise stands ready.

Home Run King Is
Only After More Of
Coin in Base Ball

NEW YORK, March 2c.-when Connie
Mack several weeks ago announced that
]. Frank Baker would not play with the
Athletics again he showed letter from
the home run king. who wrote that he had
grown tired OF travelling with the ball
club and had decided to remain In retire
ment on his Maryland farm. Mack de-
clared that Baker was not trying to Sc
cure a raise in salary and that the big
batsman was under an ironclad contract
for two years more. It now appears,
however, that Baker IL not really tired
of the game. for he openly admits that
he wants more money.
II viii play with any club in Organized
Base Ball that meets my demands. pro-
vided of course, my release from the
Athletics can be purchased" says Baker
''If Mack will raise my salary will re-
turn to the Athletics at once, for
would rather play for Mack chan for
any other manager know. I'd be glad
to sign with the Yankees il Mack would
let me go. for believe could get a
salary in New York that would make It
worth while to keep in the game. If
Mack refuses to raise Jay pay and will
not sell my release I win remain IDLE all
season. Offers from the Federal league
will not induce me to jump my contract
for 1915 and 1915 with the Athletics"
In spite OF statements to tho contrary,
the Yankees have not given UP the idea
Of purchasing Bakers release. Colonel
Rupert and Captain Huston stand ready
to pay $4,000 in cash for the home run
king. Mack still demands $4,000 but these
figures are prohibftiYe.

JUMPING NOT A NEW SPORT
Most Reliable Figures in Base Ball
Were Leapers in War Fiji
teen Years Ago
FEDERAL RAIDS ARE MILD

NEW YORK. March so.-In these days
Of spirited controversy between Organ
ICED Ball and the Federal league over
the supposedly objectionable crime OF
jumping contracts, II is only necessary TO
bark back fifteen years to learn that
some Of the most reliable figures In the
forces OF Organized Ball today were the
very ones who did not frown on any such
proceeding at that time. The penalty at
tached TO deserving Is heavily dwelt. upon
in the present day wrangie. but. never
theless many OF the biggest stars in the
National and American leagues showed
no backwardness about leaping TO the
American league when It was formed.
Those who jumped the National league
and landed very safely include Nap La
joie, now with the Athletics; Bobby Wal
lace OF the Browns; ,Bill Donovan. now
manager OF the Yankees; Jimmy Calla-
han. formerly manager of the White sox;
Jimmy Collins OF the old Boston Amer
leans: Bill Dineen, who Is now an umpire;
Doc white. formerly the southpaw OF the
White sox. and many others
The present raid OF the F'ederals on
Organized Ball Is not nearly so sweeping
as the raid which weakened the ranks OF
the National league In 1901. 1902 and 1905
In those three years. the National league
lost no less than 1873 of their players, in
GLIDING the greatest OF their stars.
Tho Brooklyn club was the heaviest
loser twenty-three players deserving.
Prominent among the jumpers from
Brooklyn was Dave Fultz. the present
head OF tine Players fraternity, who was
recalled from Milwaukee during the base
ball war. but ignored the call and jumped
TO the Philadelphia Athletics. Willie

PLAYERS PAY INCOME TAX
Estimated that 800 Players Will
Pay Into the Revenue Office
Some 5000.
SPEAKER IS HARDEST BIT

NEW YORK. March so.-Though the
government Is having tough time get
ting at the facts. professional ball players
will pay into the internal revenue depart
ment this year something like $500 in
ir'come tax.
But for the fact that 30 per cent of the
players in the American, National and
Federal leagues are married and are
thereby permitted TO claim an exemption
/ OF $4,000 in salary. the sum exacted by tho
government would be considerably larger.
From the best information the experts
have been able to obtain there 0re in the
three leagues mentioned about 800 play
ers who receive more than 5000 a year
This really means six months. as that is
the length Of the contracts. What they
earn during the other six months also
has to be accounted for. but IN most
cOses II Is nothing. .4.
or these 300 there are about 200 who
earn more than $4,000 There are close
to 100 who draw more than 5000 and
fifty whose contracts call for amounts
ranging between $500 and $4,000. There
are less than a dozen who make more
than that. The notable ones are Ty
Cobb. Iris Speaker, Eddie Collins. Wal
ter johnson and a few managers Nc
Graw is reputed 10 make $4,000 In salary
The players who take part in worlds
series are required TO put that amount in
with their salaries. which makes 1t GER
tain that every man on a championship
club has to pay income tax.
In making out their statements the ball
players. or the club secretaries who do
the work for them. have raised an inter
! esting question that may require a de-
cision by the government before II can
be settled definitely.
Instead OF a reserve clause the con-
tracts now have one. which declares that
one-fourth of the salary, stipulated shah
be considered payment for. an option on
their services for the following year.
( For instance. q player whose contract
calls for 1900 does not get that amount
in actual salary. One thousand dollars
OF II is an option on his future services.
/ The player. therefore,. wants to know
whether he shall turn in a statement
saying that his salary Is 1900 or 5000.
