ACCEPT BERLIN EXPLANATION
Germany Tells U. S. That Liner Hes
perian Was Not Torpedoed by
German Submarine.

Washington, Sept. 18.-The case of
the Allan liner Hesperian, which was
destroyed by an explosion about two
weeks ago near Fastnet, has become
practically closed incident at the
state department. Secretary Lansing
received the report of the German ad-
miralty in this case on Thursday, and
the department is disposed to accept
the German explanation The main
point in the admiralty report is that
the vessel could not have been de-
stroyed by German torpedo, for the
reason that the reports from subma-
ripes at the time of the accident show
that none of them was in that locality.

All the Effectiveness, Not the Effect
 of Calomel.

LiV-Ver-Lax is one of the most lm- portatn medical discoveries of recent years. For a long time medical eN- perts, realizing the harmful effects of calomel, have been striving to find a liver cleanser that would be just as effective as calomel and yet be ahso- utcIy harmless in its action Ra- gently this remedy was actually put forth by L. k. Grigsby u his LiV-Ver- Lax.
 LV-VerLax is a harmless vegetable compound, designed solely for the treatment of liver complaints. The immediate favor it has met in thou sands of homes Is proof positive of Its real value.
 If you feel worn out. tongue coat ed, and skin sal.ow, don't delay until 1t becomes dangerous, nip the trouble in the bud with LiV-Ver-Lax. Insist on the genuine, bearing the signature and likeness of l.. K Grigsby, wlich is guaranteed to give satisfaction or money refunded

been known six months by any mem ber of the board of directors. l was not under any bond, and offered one, hut the director said they did not want one, As l have said before, l am surprised that things have gone as well as they have"
 Another matter of much interest was brought up in the report of tle auditor. Of the $l00O0 that had been subscribed to the fair association for the 1915 fair. the sum of $l,0l7 wa not paid President Fordyco asked why it was that the notes had not been collected Mir Creason told him that it was not his duty $ audit or to find out why, but that accord ing to his view, about 60 per cent of the sum unpaid was collectable.
 On a motion. it was ordered that the name of every subscriber to an unpaid note be read out in the meet. ing and this was done. It would be aI- most a revelation to the pubic Of Hot Springs to know some of the names of those who had made these obligations and had not met them. However, a motion prevailed that the secretary take steps to collect the notes, and .n the event they are not paid, it is likely that eGal action will bo taken for collection.
 The only possible excuse, aypar- ently. for some of the notes not hay ing been paid, is in the lax mana2e- ment, and that they were not urged for collection as they should have been. Certainly many of the names read last night are identified ganar- ally as persons who keep their obl- gatious in full.
 Because there was not a sufficient representation of the stockholders present to take up stockholders meeting and elect new officers, the directors and officers win continue to serve until such time as the stock holders meet Mir Waters said: It would not be a good time for the of. fcers and directors to quit their work w. have a burden on our hands. and it will take the eNper- ence of these men who have had something to do with the affairs, to straightetn them out. We must make the best of the situation"
 "A motion prevailed that Secretary Waters be given a committee to a s- sist him in an adjustment of the shortage of a former employe.
