WON HIS SPURS IN
INDIAN CAMPAIGN
LATE MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT
MADE FAME In DEFENSE
OF CHITRAL

LONDON, an. II. = Sir George
Scott Robertson, the member Of
parliament whose death has been
announced, was the most talked
about nan in the British empire 81
years ago, when he was the princi-
pal figure in the siege of Chitral.
Robertson's campaigning expert
ence began Immediately upon his
joining the Indian medical service
in 1878, after finishing his medical
training in London. He saw fight
ing in the Afghan war of 1S7S-SO
and for the eight years following
worked in the various districts of
India as a civil surgeon. He was
then transferred to duty on the
Kashmir frontier.
Because of his success in deal
ing automatically with the tribes
men, he was made chief political Of
ficer with the Hunza-Naga expedi-
ton of 1922. Afterward he un-
dertoOk a mission to Cor, and had
a narrow escape when besieged by
the natives.

tention to the world at large and
DR.. Robertson was unknown to
Chitral, at the extremity of the
tribal country ove which the gov
eminent of India exercises it's in
1uence. His instructions were to
control the external affairs of Chit
raj in a direction friendly to Brit
ish interests.
War now broke out in Chitral
with the murder of it's %potentate as
the result Of the ambitious projects
Of Umra Khan. Robertson, with his
British and Sikh force of 543 men,
including 1877 non-combatants,
were besieged between March 4 ana
April 20, 1895, when relief was af-
fected by a British expedition after
great hardship. Robertson was Sc
verely wounded. But the gallantry
and determination Of himself and
his force, so necessary for the
maintenance of British prestige,
won him fame and honors. He lat
er returned to England and en-
tered parliament.

Fancy Price for Wool

Gardnerville wool men report
It's the prices fer the spring clip
hav adcanced to over 22Rc and
that the buyers are anxious to get
all available wool. Coming at this
early season. the high prices lead
the w~oolgrowers to believe that the
price for the clip when the season
is advanced will be over 26c. Sheep
owners are facing the most prosper
Gus season that has confronted
the m in several years. Those now
in the business are increasing the r

jjAIgMEL TODAY,
SICK TOMORROW
Dose of Nasty CalOmel Makes You
Sick and You Lose Days Work.

Calomel salivates! It's mercury.
Calomel acts like dynamite on 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 go
to your druggist and get 50-cent bot
tie of Dodson's Liver Tone, which Is
harmless vegetable substitute FOR
dangerous calomel Take spoonful
and if it doesn't start your liver and
straighten you up better and quicker
than nasty calomel and without maxi
ing you sick, you just go back ana
get your money.
If you take calomel today you'll be
sick and nauseated tomorrow; besides,
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 harm
