 Win calome.

It is generally agreed by ex- perts in this country and Europe that calomel has a very violent effect on the system. This ac- counts for the familiar disagree able feeling accompanying a dose and the weakened condition fol- lowing it.
 Liv-Ver-Lax is a harmless veg etable compound, that is mild but effective substitute for calo- mel. 1t has all the effectiveness, but not the effect, of calOmel. It's splendid value has brought it into such wide use that in some states it has almost entirely re. placed calomel.
 Just try Liv-Ver-Lax once and you'll never use calomel again. Insist on the genuine, bearing the likeness and signature of L.. K. Grigsby, which is guaranteed to give satisfaction OF money re- funded. For sale by Hesterly Drug Store.

Instead Of burning itself out, the war con-
flagration in Europe is plainly spreading It is
with regret that this observation forces itself on
everyone. but the course OF events has only
served TO demonstrate the difficulty Of setting
bounds to the fire started by tiny spark.
Ostensibly the initial quarrel was between
Austria and Servis. Russia backed up Servia.
and Germany fastened TO support Austria Rus
sia's entrance carried with IL that OF It's ally.
France, and Germanys invasion of Belgium,
lined the last named country with the allies, anil
summoned Great Britain, who in turn enlisted
the aid OF japan followed by the Turks juncture
with the Germans and Austrians.
A still further enlargement Of the war arena
is nov imminent by the addition OF Italy and the
Balkan countries, leaving only Holland switz-
erland, Spain, Portugal and the Scandinavian
countries outside the pale. VIII any OF these
neutral nations be yet drawn in? is a question
which only time can tell. Will the duration OF
the war be shortened or heightened by the
spreading? is another unanswerable question.
The more colossal the scale OF the war how
ever, the more hideous and hellish and inexcus-
able II appears.

Freedom Of Dramatic oritiOi,m.

Whoever writes book. stages play or runs
for office invites honest criticism. While the
expectation is naturally for praise, adverse
opinion biting ridicule and severest condemna-
ton by those who are dispIeased cannot be
avoided. That we take It. is reaffirmsd by the
outcome OF the fight in New York City by which
one OF the theaters has vainly sought to exclude
the dramatic critic OF the New York Times for
running down its shows. or course, IL was al
legged that the critic was prejudiced and that his
comment was malicious because OF other con-
alterations. but evidently without proof of the
allegation, and the theater man will be COM

affair they will be able to do more than
can.

When we talk about keeping out OF war
these people do not understand that
when President Wilson sent our ships and
a part of our army 10 Vera Cruz last
year and landed them on Mexican soil
that II was an act of war that was not
near as justifiable as It would be today
to send our army and navy to Cuxhaven,
Germany, ana land them on German soil.
Had Mexico been q powerful nation like
Germany We would not have sent our
troops with such great haste as we did
To Mexico for then we would have had

20 me that II is far worse than that a

We did not make the Mexieans salute
our flag and had Mexico been a strong
nation we would not have been able to
get off with the loss Of only about twenty
men. We would have plenty of war on
our hands

could not be moved without Fastening
Board OF Health was appealed to, inves-
tigsted the case, and declined TO inter

but TO call upon the sheriff for as

misplaced.

OMAHA, May 19-To the EDITOR OF The
Bee; correspondent writes in your
letter box charging that the clergymen OF

In the presence OF certain great issues
1 have spoken 20 three leading Clergy
men and they deny the charge OF silence
and evasion. But they say the Omaha
papers will never publish but a few lines
OF disconnected excerpts OF pulpit de-
liverances. emasculating the message of
all its sense and purpose. l confess my
SER 1 never was In a city where the
voice OF the pulpit Is so silent or stifled
as IL is In this city. Tho danseurs Jess
Willard and politicians can justly make
no such complaint, for their presence and
doings are exploited in capital letters
morning, noon and evening. Base bail
takes daily nearly two pages of the
paper and the reports are read by a
class only, while the reports OF lectures.
addresses and sermons by professor

a mention. Wonder il that Is the type OF

have a column every Monday morning

not share with the base ball and police
