CalomCl is Quicksilver and Acts Like
Dynamite on Your Liver.

CalOmel loses you a day! You

quicksilver. CalOmel is dangerous.
1t crashes into sour bile like dyna-
mite, cramping and sickening you.
Calomel attacks the bones and

When you feel bilious, sluggish,
cOnstipated and ali knocked out and
believe you need dose Of dangerous
calomel just remember that your
druggist sells for SO cents n large
bottle OF Dodson's Liver Tone, which
is entirely vegetable and pleasant to
take and is a perfect substitute for
calomcl. 1t Is guaranteed to start
your liver without stirring you up
inside. and cannot salivate.
Don't take calomel! 1t makes you
sick the next day; it loses you a
days work. DOdson's Liver Tone
straightens you right up and you feel
great. Give it to the children be-
cause 1t is perfectly harmless and

Russian Embargo Lifted.

Washington, Sept. 23.-The for
mai agreement lifting the Russian
embargo against exports to the Uni
ted States has been signed by Secre-
tary Lansing and George Bakhmeteff,
the Russian ambassador. Russian
goods will be allowed to come to the
United States consigned to the Sec
retary Of Commerce, on condition
that the Russian government is given
satisfactory guarantees that the mer-
chandise will not reach her enemies.
American firms must give bond
covering the value Of shipments. If
any part Of such goods is exported
the bond will be forfeited and the
firm involved will be prevented from
securing any further Russian mer-
chandise.
The arrangement is expected to re-
lease millions Of dollars worth Of
goods to American importers held up
since the beginning OF the war.

WM. J. BRYAN AT COLUMBIA.
speaks OF Peace, Not PolitiCS-Kc-
grettrd Not Seeing Governor.

Columbia, Sept. 23.-William j.
Bryan, former secretary Of State,
speaking here tonight under the aus
pices Of the Y. Nj. c. A, attacked
preparedness as melting to war and
stressed the opportunities which, he
said, Americans now had to advance
the cause Of peace.
II had hoped" said Mr.. Bryan,
that this war would show all Ameri-
cans that preparedness is the origi-
nal cause OF war Had we been as
prepared as some Of our citizens now
want, we would be in the, war now, !
firmly believe. The doctrine Of pre-
paredncSs will not stand the test Of
logic and this war shows that it will
not stand the test Of experience. No
nation is challenging us, and if there
was we should answer that We have
the welfare Of many people and high
Ideals to take care Of, and cannot go
70 war without a cause.
Not nation in the world desires
to attack us" he continued. "Why,
then, should we let alternate scares
result in getting ourselves in a state
OF preparedness? 1t is pure folly"
Mr.. Bryan, in an interview this af-
ternoon, said he hoped that national
prohibition would not be an issue in
the campaign Of 1916. lie hoped, he
said, that the campaign would be
fought out on the issue Of economic
reforms fostered by the adminStra-
ton, which needed the endorsement
OF the electorate.
Mr.. Bryan left at midnight for his
winter home at Miami, Fla.
Bryan Reaches Capital.
Mr.. Bryan arrived in Columbia at
noon from Washington over the Sea

Hotel, where he stopped while in the
city. Several OF his personal friends
called to pay their respects. After
luncheon the Nebraskan was taken
for an automobile ride around the

 Professor Michelsons work has been conducted at the Ryerson Laboratories at the University of Chicago He has specially constructed dark room in the basement of hls building where much of the work has been done
 In order to have some slight concep- tion of the importance of Professor Mich elson's work 1t is necessary to under stand the rudimentary principles of the science Of the spectroscope and the spectrum A ray of white sunlight is composed of an infinite series of rays of different wave-lengths. It is the wave lengths that constitute the different colors. When all the colored rays are mixed together the result is a pure white ray but when the wave-lengths are sep arated they have literally all the colors of the rainbow. The image produced by the separation of the white ray into all its colors is called spectrum.
 Now the basic idea of the spectroscope. is to turn ray of light from it's path by refraction or diffraction As it changes it's path, the different wave lengths turn at different angle and in reflection you see an image of all of them separately, that is of an infinite series of colors, instead of plain spot of white sunlight.
 Different kinds of light have different spectra. A burning body shows that it IS burning by lines in It's spectrum It

from this cause may have slipped in.
 After great many trials and calcu- lations he solved the problem of making perfectly parallel lines by screw of ex- quisitely delicate thread. Thls was con- structed so that by turning it the plate to be ruled was pushed forward one eleven-thousandth of an inch. There was still an infinitesimal error in the accuracy Of the screw. When screw, as near to perfect accuracy as possible had been constructed, then by careful experiment and mathematical calculation, the per centage of error of the screw was de- termined and the error corrected for each of the 120000 lines that were drawn.
 For century men have tried and failed to cover as many inches with cor rectly drawn parallel lines as the Amer ican scientist has done. He himself worked on the problem for upwards of twelve years. Sometimes he would cover several inches with iniinitesimal lines before he discovered the fatal error. Then he had to begin all over again.
 It is stated that he hopes to construct an even more closely ruled diffraction grating in time
 The more highly this instrument is per fected the more we shall know of vari- ous conditions such as the weather that depend on changes in the sun.

of the slit, ranged in order and partially overlapping.
 The analysis or decomposition of the beam is due to the different refrangi- bilities of the component rays, the violet being the most refrangible and the red the least. Besides the visible color rays, the spectrum contains thermal or heat ing rays and chemical or actinic rays, which are not visible to the eye.
 The heating effect of the solar spec trum increases in going from the violet to the red. and still continues to increase for a certain distance beyond the visible spectrum at the red end, while the chem ical action is very faint in the red, strong in the blue and violet, and sensible to a considerable distance beyond the violet end The actinc rays beyond the violet may be rendered visible by throwing them upon a surface treated with some huorescent substance.
 Besides this band of different colors, a pure solar spectrum will be found to possess number of dark lines, which cut through it perpendicularly. These lines were first discovered by Wollaston, and were carefully studied by Frauen- hofer and called after him Frauenhofer's lines. The lines are always to be found
 on the. same spot and serve to in-
 dicate the exact places on the scale
 of color For instance, if we use
 the term blue in the spectrum, this

 The propeller is mounted on a structure erected upon the rear of the chassis. Power Is transmitted from the motor shaft to tho propeller by chain belt in such way that the propeller can be used either inde

 In common spectroscope the strip formed on a screen by the beam of light. as of the sun, is received through mar row slit and passed through glass prism, being thus decomposed or sep arated into it's constituent rays.

kltchener's estimate of one year is reason able, largely on account of the extent to which motor vehicles are being used.
 Ordinary rubber tires, however, refuse to grip snow-covered roads, as is the case also with roads few inches deep with sand.
 The sandy road problem has been solved by French manufacturers. who have sup piled the French army in Morocco with flying autos" and it is suggested that the same device may apply in the case of roads covered with snow Instead of de pending upon the grip of the driving wheels to send their motor cars over the sands of the Moroccan desert.

the spectrum in which this color is found no difficulty will arise. For this purpose Frauenhofer gave certain characteristic names 60 the line, which he indicated by letters. A certain line in the red he called A, another in the yellow D. and so on. As, however, these lines number some thousands a further subdivision of the letters was necessary to indicate them all.
 In order to properly understand these lines 1t is necessary to remember five important things. These are: Firstly, an incandescent solid or liquid body gives out continuous spectrum; secondly, an lncandescent gaseous body gives out a discontinuous spectrum consisting of bright lines; thirdly, each element, when in the state of an incandescent gas, gives

N UTE the most remarkable feature dealing with the transportation of
 men, arms and supplies in the pres ent war is the rapid movement of whole army corps, made possible by the use of automobiles and motor trucks. Formerly five to ten miles day was considered the marching average of an army division. Now, with the aid of these self-propelling vehicles, complete units of the French, British and German fighting forces are moved at nearly that rate per hour.
