JUST A LITTLE BOY
Greenwood IndeX.)

(IfeenWOOd lnQeX.)
A human interest story that grips
the hardest heart comes from Chicago
as a result of the Eastland disaster.
From all the wreckage of human liv..
es, from the enorinity Of the catas-
trophe there is nothing that seemed
to awaken more interest and pity
than the case of "No. 1896"
AS you know it was gala occas-
sion, the day of big picnic and for
weeks ahead preparations were on
foot Even grown ups were excited
and as for the children! My! what a
time they were going to have. Ther,
would be ride on a big boat and
ball games and swimming and a din
neP-a whole day given up to hav-
ing good time. The Eastland was
to sail at 7:30 and by then she was
full of gay crowd of human beings,
eager, happy, and care free. Then it
happened
For five days "No. 1896" lay in the
morguc unclaimed unrecogniZed. And
he was such little specimen of hu-
manity this boy of eight. There was
no one in the crowd who had looked
+O' ""'' W VIC plSHlI usy WIFI ilOIc
excitement or pleasure than this lit
tie mite. For days they came claim
ing their dead but all passed him by.
Mothers, their own hearts bursting,
stopped 60 shed tear for the mother
that did not come-who was probably
in the bottom of the river "We'l
keep him as long as we can" said
the coronor-but still no one came.
Last Thursday this order went out
to all the Boy Scouts of Chicago"
Comrade No. 3?6' will be buried
with military honors.P The coffin
was massed with flowers the mayor
went to the funeral-it seemed that
all Chicago wanted to adopt the lit
tie unuclaimed boy.
Surely the story of 1896" goes
to prove that hearts can still be touch
ed and this isn't such a hard, hard
world we're living in after all.

CalOmel Dynamites
A Sluggish Liver
Crashes Into Sour Bile, Making You
Sick and You Lose a Days
Work.

Calomel salivates! It's mercury.
Calomel acts like dynamite on a slug
gish liver. When calomel comes into
contact with sour bile it crashes into
it, causing cramping and nausea.
If you feel bilious, headachy, con-
stipated and all knocked out, just 90
to your druggist and get so cent
bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone, which
is 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 max
ing you sick, you just go back and
get your money.
If you take calomel today you'll be
sick and nauseated tomorrow; be-
sides, 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.

The curse was that he should have
i'll health and a early death instead
of living to be $4,000 years old like
his ancestors.
According to todays announce

is at least 1000 years older than the
Genesis account and so far as is
known, as the oldest record of tn
sort in existence. The tablet was
written more than 1000 years ago.
