With Calomel

1t is generally agreed by experts IN
this country and Europe that calomel
has a very violent effect Oh the sys'
tenn. This accounts for the familiar
disagreeable feeling accompanying q
dose, and the weakened condition
following it.
Liy-Vcr-LaXis harmless vege-
table compound, that is mild but ef-
fective substitute for calOmel. 1t has
all the effectiveness. but not the effect
of calomel. Its splendid value has
brought it into such wide use that i'll
some states it has almost entirely re-
placed calomel.
Just try Liv-Ne1'-LaX once anc
You'll never use calomel again. Insist
on the genuine, bearing the likeness
and signature of L. K. Gribsby, which
is guaranteed to give satisfaction OF
money refunded For sale by.

Domestic Science Luncheon

Among the most pleasing tea-
lures of Florida Parishes Nor
nal was the four course luncheon
given Wednesday, July 14th, to
the faculty, by the class, under
the direction of their efficient in
structor, Miss Helen Shelby.
On entering the dining room
all we're attracted to the color
scheme, pink and green, shown
by numerous cut tlOWOrs arts
cally arranged, a large bowl of
beautiful pink roses and aspara-
gus fern n the center Of the ia
bic, and dainty handpainted
place cards.
Suggestive of the season and
very attractiVely served was
the first course, w oter-melon
cocktail. Next was vegetable
soup followed by a meat anc
salad course. Tempting ices
and a dainty favor for each
guest concluded this delightful
luncheon so we'll planned am
faultlessly served. Throughout
the meal conversation and gOot
cheer prevailed, and at the en-
several tOasts we're offered th
charming hostess and her as
sistants.

FERRIS BILL BEFORE WESTERN

western Newspaper Union News Service
Portland, Ore.-One big target was
before the Western States Water
Power Conference which assembled
here-the so-called Ferris bill for the
regulation of power development on
the public domain.
This bill, which passed one house
of Congress but did not reach a vote
in the Senate at the last session, will
be reintroduced and if today's mani.
festations might be taken as any in.
dication, will meet much opposition
from western congressman, many OF
whom wish to give the states extern
sive or complete control over the re-
sources within their domains.
The talk, however, was not alto
gether one-sided. Henry S. Graves,
chief of the United States Bureau of
Forestry, argues sturdily that the Fer
ris bill was in line with development
along the general line of public con-
troll
He cited increased regulation of
railroads, the general abolition Of
perpetual franchises and other mani
festations to support his case.
The conference quickly divided
itself into two camps; one favoring
absolute control by the separate states
OF all the natural resources, while the
other advocated continued federal su-
pervision over the public domain.
Delegates to the conference and in
vited speakers and guests were wei
coined by Gov. James Withycombe.
Each of our states is held in leash. .
he said, "a leash grasped by federal
government none too indulgent, none
too sympathetic with the best mean
ing of the phrase states rights and
certainly none too familiar in some
phases of it's bureaucratic paternalism
with the facts as they exist in the
West today
