prices, some bringing as high as six
cents per pound. Buyers were pres
cnt from Jersey City, Richmond,
Baltimore and other cities. as well as
local butchers.
The feature Of the day was the ad-
dress by Governor Manning at the
Court House at II o'clock. Cover
norm Manning was thoroughly in
sympathy with the great idea which
has been launched in this county,
and so expressed himself after a
brief reference to his efforts to en-
force the laws which are now on the
statute books of the State. He made
practical address to the farmers,
and it was well received.

Unique French ReprisaI Proposed.

Paris, April l6.-M. Lcguales de
MeZauban, president Of the Brittany
Ship Owners Association, has Sug-
SeSted that the minister OF marine
replace each ship Of the allies sunk
by German submarine by a vessel
Of corresponding size from among
the 27S German ships detained at
French ports since war began. This
NJ. de MeZauban believes would cause
German ship owners to do their ut
most to induce Emperor William to
put stop to a method Of warfare
the cost Of which would be borne bv
them.
The proposal Of NJ. de Mczauban
has been taken into consideration by
the French government, but before
1t can be put into execution an ar
rangement must be reached with the
British authorities.

the young man ran into an adjoining

Calomcl loses You a day! You

Calolnel attacks the bones and should

When you feel bilious, sluggish,

druggist sells for so cents a large
bottle Of DOdson's Liver Tone, which
Is entirely vegetable and pleasant to

calomel. 1t is guaranteed to start
your liver without stirring you up
INSIDE, and can not salivate.
Don't take calomel! 1t makes you

the treatment Of liver complaints.
The immediate favor it has met with

Just take your shoes off and then
put those weary, shoe-crinkled, ach-
ing, burning, corn-pestered bunion-
tortured feet of yours in "TIH"
bath. Your toes will wriegIe with
joy; they'll look up at you and al
most talk, and then they'll take an
other dive in that "TIZ" bath.
When your feet feel like Jumps of
lead all tired out-just try "TIX."
It's grand--it's glorious. Your feet
will dance with joy; also you will
find all pain gone from corns, cal
louses and bunions.
There's nothing like "TIZ." It's
the only remedy that draws out all
the poisonous eXudations which puff
up your feet and cause foot torture.
Get 25-cent box of "TIZ" at any

how comfortable your shoes feel.
You can wear shoes a size smaller If
you desire.--Adv.
