CALOMEI, TODAY,
SICK TOMORROW
Dose OF Nasty Cal0mel Makes You
SICK and You Lose a Days Work.

Calomel salivates! It's mercury.
Calomel acts like dynamite on a slug
gish liver. when calondel 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
a harmless vegetable substitute for
dangerous calomcl. Take a spoonful
and if it doesn't start your liver and
straighten 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; be-
sides, it may salivate you. while if
you take Dodson's Liver Tone you will
wake up feeling great, full of ambi-
ton and ready for work or play. It's
harmless, pleasant and safe to give to
children; they like it.

Congressional Committee Begins
Inquiry lnt0 Railroad Situation

railways of the country by federal
commission has had admirable results
and has fully justified the hopes and
expectations of those by whom the
policy OF regulation was originally
proposed. The question is not what
should We do? 1t is whether there IS
anything else we can do that would
supply us with effective means, in
the very process of regulation, for
lettering the conditions under which
the railroads are operated and for
making them more useful servants Of
the country as a whole. 1t seems 70
me that it might be the part of wis =
dom, therefore, before further legis-
lation in this field is attempted, to
look at the whole problem of coordi-
nation and efficiency in the full light
stances and opinion as guide to
dealing with the several parts of it"
Six months later the joint resolu-
ton was adopted. 1t provides for the
appointment of five senators and rep
resentatives "to investigate the sub
iect Of the government control and
regulation Of interstate and foreign
transportation, the efficiency of the
existing system in protecting the
rights of shippers and carriers and in
promoting the public interest, the in
corporation or control of the incor-
poratoion of carriers, and all pro.
posed changes in the organization Of
the interstate commerce commission
and the act to regulate commerce,
also the subject Ct government
ownership OF public utilities, such as
telegraph, wireless, cable, telephone,
express companies, and railroads en-
gagged in interstate ant foreign com
merce and report as to the wisdom
or feasibility of government owner
ship of such utilities and as to the
comparative worth and efficiency OF
government regulation and control as
compared with government ownership
and operation" Power was given the
committee to sit during a recess of
congress and to summon witnesses
and to call on government agencies
for assistance. The sum of $4,000
was appropriated for expenses.
Personnel OF Committee.
Under the resolution the following
members were named en- the commit
tee: Senators, Newlands, chairman;
Robinson, Underwood, Cumins and
Brandegee: representatives, Adamson,
Sims, Cullop, Esch and Hamilton, all
coming from the interstate commerce
committees of the two houses.
In it's announcement of the hear
ings the committee said it would con-
slider the subjects as follows:
"The subject OF government con-
troll and regulation of interstate and
foreign transportation" and under
this head:
"The efficiency of the existing sys-
TEN in protecting the rights of ship
pers and carriers and in promoting
the public interest.
