LAST OF JAMES BAND DEAD.
Frand, n Member of the Famous Rob-
bcr Band, Died Thursday.

Excelsior Springs, Mo-, Feb. 19.-
Frank James, Of the notorious James
gang, died on his farm near here yes
terday. James, who was "a years
old, had been in i'll health several
months, and was stricken with aDo-
pleXy early yesterday.
One Of the last members Of the
robber band, whose unparalleled ca
reer Of crime during the Civil War,
and the unsettled period that follow
ed, kept the people of a dozen States
in terror, Frank James has been liv-
ing the life of a quiet farmer for
more than 30 years.
The son of a minister, respected
throughout the community, Frank
James jointed Quantrelles guerillas,
together with his brother, Jesse,
and took part in the sacking of Law
renee, Kan.
After the guerillas disbanded, the
James brothers became bandits.
Many notorious crimes Of the decade
Following the war have been laid at
their door.
Detectives surrounded the James
home near Kearney, Mo-, on January
20, 1875, and threw a lighted bomb
into the house, thinking to kill the
James brothers. 1t exploded, tear
ing the arm off their mother and kill
ing their brother, Archie.
In 1882, after Jesse James had
been shot and killed in his home in
st. joseph, No, by Bob Ford, also
bandit, for reward of $4,000,
Frank James surrendered in Jeffer-
son City, Mo. He was sentenced to
life Imprisonment in the penitentiary,
but after few years he deveIoped
symptoms of tuberculosis, and was
pardoned.

CALOMEL DYNAMITES
"A SLUGGISH LIVER.
Crashes Into Sour Bile, Making You
Sick and You Lose n Days Work.

CalOmel saliVates! It's mercury.
Calomel acts like dynamite on a
sluggish liver. When calomel comes
into contact with sour bile it crashes
into it, causing cramping and nausea.
If you feel bilious, headachy, con-
stpated and all knocked out, just go
TO your druggist and get 5O-cent
bottle OF Dodson's Liver Tone, which
is a harmless vegetable substitute for
dangerous calOmel. Take a spoonful
and if it doesn't start your liver and
straighten you up better and quicker
than nasty Calomel and without maxi
ing you sick, you just go back and
get your money.
If you take calomel to-day you'll
be sick and nauseated tomorrow;
besides, it may salivate you, while if
YOU take Dodson's Liver Tone you
will wake up feeling great, full Of
ambition and ready for work or play.
It's harmless, pleasant and safe to
give to children; they like it.--Adv.

Berlin Again Celebrates.

London. Feb. 17.-Berlin again
is celebrating the success of Field
Marshal Won Hindenburg in East
Prussia. Germany, claims officially
that $4,000 Russians we're captured,
while all dispatches agree that the
Russians still are being pressed fur
ther eastward, fighting rear guard
action to prevent the Germans from
surrounding their wings.
In the Carpathians the fighting
stin is without decision. The Rus
sian western end and center are hold
ing, Notwithstanding repeated vio-
lent attacks, but in Bukowina The
AustrianS have pressed on to within
IL miles CZernOwitz.
1t is believed a recurrence of the
general German offensive in the west
depends largely on the outcome of
the present eastern situation. Opin-
ion here is divided whether the Ger
mans are planning great invasion
Of Russia or simply trying to free
Austrian territory Of hostile forces
and make secure their lines in CEN
tral and northern Poland.
Russians Taken by Thousands.
Berlin, Feb. l7.-Fifty thousand
prisoners, many cannon and machine
guns were captured by the Ger
mans when the Russian tenth army
was defeated in MaZurian Lake dis
trict, East Prussia, according to a
general headquarters statement to-
day. Its text follows:
'In a nine-dayS' battle in the Ma
Zurian Lake district, the Russian
tenth army corps, consisting Of at
least eleven infantry and several cav
airy divisions not only was driven
out Of strongly entrenched positions
east Of the Mazurian Lake plateau
but was forced back across the from
tier.
"Utterly defeated at almost every
point, only the remnants of the army
managed to reach the woods east OF
Suwalki and Augustowo, where they
are being pursued. The number OF
prisoners taken has not been ascer-
tanned, but certainly exceeded So
600. More than fifty cannon and
sixty machine guns, besides an un-
known quantity OF war material were
captured.
emperor William was present
during the decisive fighting in the
center Of our line. The victory was
won by veteran East Prussian troops

The statement added that the acre
age Of winter wheat sown in Den
mark, Italy, Switzerland. United
Kingdom, United States, India and
Canada shows an increase Of from
three to thirty-thrcc per cent
But suppose a shortage in wheat
should develop in the next three
months, what would be the situa-
tion?' the department asked. "There
is great surplus in other food crops
in the United States, number Of
which can be used as substitutes. The
most important competing products
are corn and potatoes. Normally
only about 3 per cent Of the corn
crop is consumed as food. The po-
tato production in the United States
averages 3.S bushels per capita. This
year the available supply is Al
bushels.
1T would seem that tho United
States is not likely to be threatened
with shortage of fOodstuffs."

NO FEAR OF FOOD SHORTAGE.
Country Has Plenty of Wheat, Corn,
Meat and Potatoes for Needs.

Washington, Feb. 17.-Assurance
that the United States is in no dan
ger of food shortage, despite
enormous exports to Europe, was
given tonight by the Department Of
Agriculture in statement to the
public.
The surplus OF wheat, above do
mestic needs, on hand February /,
the statement said, would permit the
expectation of nearly 100000 bush
els daily-about the recent average
until the new crop is available.
Moreover, there were larger supplies
Of corn and other grains, meat ami
mails, dairy products, potatoes and
fruit at the opening Of 1915 than for
many years.
incidentally it was pointed out
that the average price OF meat ami
mails was seven per cent lower in
January than year ago; apples 81
per cent, and the price Of chickens
slightly lower.
Wheat Available.
THE 1914 wheat crop OF the Uni
ted States was estimated to be S91 -
1000 bushels" the statement said
The estimated surplus carried over
from the 1913 crop was about TO-
100000 bushels, making a total
available supply Of 967,00O,0OO
bushels. AS the normal annual per
capita consumption Of wheat in the
United States is about 50 bushels.
$40, 100000 bushels should meet
our normal domestic requirements
for food; 90,000,000 bushels are re-
Quired annually for seeding, there
fore 61O,O0O,OOO bushels should sup
ply the normal domestic demand.
This would leave a surplus Of 357,-
100000 bushels.
'Of this surplus about 210, 100000
bushels were exported by January 30.
This left 147,COO,OOO bushels or 4O,-

When the days work Of Governor
ming was finished Thursday, he
d served exactly one month as the
..ef Executive OF South Carolina,
uDch has been one Of continuous
Il work.
'robably the most important and
'eaching single act of the Cover
b.: was that dismissing the dispen-
Iw constables and all other secret
,euts of the State and giving notice
sf he would EXPECT the sheriffs to
'ntain good order and enforce the
.s in their respective counties.
Ugh some of the sheriffs seemed
egard this action as placing upon
n too heavy burden, as indicat-
~ their letters to the Governor,
.y were shown in later letters from
.Hrnor Manning that the Cover
5, request was simply in keeping
|'N their oaths Of office.
ne sheriffs, without exception, 1t
tE stated at the executive Offices,
. arrived at a full understanding
tG the Governor and are now work
in full accord with his wishes.
I'd lng the past several weeks a rela-
Ngty large number have called at
Capitol and discussed fully with
ernor Manning his prograln of
So enforcement.
Governor Manning noted Thursday
lining that the Legislature has en-
I'd into law the program Of legisla-
N outlined by him in his inaugu-
. address, practically without eX-
ion. 1t was pointed out at the
.otutive Offices that all OF the sug-
ID led laws Of Statewide effect have
ner been passed or are in position
, De passed and sent to him for his
nature before the session Of the
neral Assembly is ended.
The reinstatement Of the organized
ilitia was another of the early acts
Governor Manning, regarded as of
1rticular Importance. He also mus
led out OF service two divisions of
val militia at Charleston, which, it
rs said, were practically dead and

matters regarded as OF importance.
One Of this number mentioned the
absence OF certain official recon Is

suited in legislative inquiry: anO-
ther asked the enactment of a statute
providing for welfare work agent in
the cotton mill villages of the State,
and another reviewed the financial
condition OF the State and called to
the Legislatures attention the neces-
sity the State faces Of being forced to
borrow about 100000 this year in
anticipation of the payment of State
taxes for the operation Of the State
government. This last message
asked the Legislature to make some
provision to meet the deficit of the
State Treasury that occurs each year.
a close watch over the progress Of
legislation has been maintained nv
Governor Manning and he has en-
gagged in a number of conferences
relative to bills then pending before
that body. He has signed 1922 acts
and has returned with his veto two
duplicate acts.
Because of the urgency of other
matters, it was explained, Governor
Manning has been unable to deter
