Washington April 19,-President
Wilson will lay the submarine crisis
before Congress today. In joint ses-
sion in the hall of the House of Rep
resentatiyes at 1 p. m, the president
will speak the last words of the Unit
ed States to Germany in the grave stu
alton which has kept the two nations
on the brink OF a break for nearly a
year.
Developments yet undisclosed and of
the most solemn importance are ex-
pected to follow quickly. An ultima
tum to Germany, and even the sever
ance Of diplomatic relations, are the
two most likely eyentualities,

best, was practically inignorance of the

He instructed him to go to the capitol
at 4.3O o'clock-and not betore-and

The president did not state his pur-
pose to his secretary and instructed
him specifically to inform the leaders

There is only one instance i'll mod
ern diplomatic history in which a
breaking of diplomatic relations be-
tween two frst-class powers has not
eventually been followed by war. 1t
is the breaking of relations between
Germany and Italy and it stands
alone as a precedent against what di-
plomatists regard as the inevitable.
Count Won Bernstorff, the German
ambassador, calling upon Secretary
Lansing by direction OF his govern
ment almost at the moment the pres
ident was arranging the joint session
OF Congress, was informed that the
secretary could not discuss the situas.

CALOMEL DYNAMITES
A SLUGGISH LIVER
Crashes Into Sour Bile, Making You
Sick and You Lose Days
Work.

Calomel salivatcs! It's mercury.
Calomel acts like dynamite on slug
glsh liver. When calomel comes into
contact with sour bile it crashes into
1t, causing cramping and nausea.
If you feel bilious, headachy, con-
stipated and all knocked out, just go
to your druggist and get so cent
bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone, which
is harmless vegetable substitute for
dangerous calomel. Take a spoonful
and if it doesn't start your liver and
stralghten you up better and quicker
than nasty calomel and without max
ing you sick, you just go back and get
your money.
If you take calomel today you'll be
sick and nauseated tomorrow; besides,
1t 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
less, pleasant and safe to give to chill
dren; they like it.

Jonesville, Feb. 29.-Snow COM
menced falling here Monday afternoon
about o'clock and continued till about
night. There was about three inches,
but it seems probable that it will get
away today. The children and young
folks are enjoying the snow very
much, as they always do.
On the 18th of February, 1858,
there was the largest sleet on record
up to that time. The timbers were
broken and almost stripped of their
limbs. This event 1 find in an old
diary of that time. note also in this
diary that there was sleet and snow
April 26th, 1858. Also the snow of
April 18th, 1849.
l have inquired of many farmers if
they are going to use guano this year
and I can't get one to tell me whether
he is or not. They don't know yet
what to do, the price seems to be
holding them back as to what to do.

doctors called it-really disordered

pains in the shoulders, headaches,
belching, heartburn, loss of appetite,
loss of sleep and fainting spells. For
weeks l could not sleep on my back.
"One week ago, upon recommends
ton of friends, who had tried the med
icine, | purchased one bottle of Tan
lac and began taking it. Since my
second dose | have suffered none of
the troubles to which I refer, and real
ly believe l am going to get perfectly
well and strong again. Won't that be
wonderful at my age? Well, certain
it is that Tanlac is a wonderful medi-
cine, and you know that l am not
given to putting mere experiments

GOVERNOR RECOMMENDS
PROHIBITION LEGISLATION
favors Strengthening Central
Executive Power of the State
If VIII of the People is to
Be Made Effective.

Richmond, Jan. 12.-Rigid enforce
ment of the prohibition laws. which
are to be written into Virginia's stat
ute books at this session, following
the overwhelming approval of that
poilcy by the people at the polls, n
request that the hands of the govern
ment be strengthened i'm order to en-
force prohibition, and n discussion of
taxation, featured the message of
Governor Henry c. Stuart to the gen
eral assembly, which convened i'm bien-
nial session at noon today. In point
out the difficulties presented by the
enforcement of statewide prohibition
Governor Stuart said:
ITO assume that the local officers
can and will, in all cases, perform
their duties in this respect, is to shut
our eyes to the experience of all other
States where prohibition laws have
been enacted. General disregard of
law, lack of respect for public officials
is an evil as great as intemperancc
itself, and if we increase the former
evil without decreasing the latter
prohibition will prove calamity and
not blessing. /, therefore, call your
attention to the fact that the strength
ening of the central executive power
of the State is absolutely essential to
the proposed enforcement of prohibi-
tion."
Discussing the new tax system, the
Governor said:
"Shall the people of the State be
cheated out of their long delayed ad-
vantage by the hue and cry raised
by interested parties against the
methods necessary to reach and main
tain substantial resources"
1t is essential, he said, that means
Of discovering undeclarcd intangible
property will be maintained and
strengthened.
