CAL0MEL TODAY,
SICK TONMOROW
Dose of nasty calomel makes you
sick and you lose a
days work.

Calomel salivates! It's mercury.
Calomel acts like dynamite on a slug
gish liver. When calomel comes into
contact with sour bile it crashes into
it, causing cramping and nausea.
If you feel bilious, headachy, consti-
pated and all knocked out, just go to
your druggist and get so cent bottle
of Dodson's Liver Tone, which is a
harmless vegetable substitute for dan
gerous calomel. Take 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; 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 harmless,
pleasant and safe to give to children;
they like it.-(Advt.)

Against Law to Be Patriotic.

According to a recent ruling of
Justice Gould of the district supreme
court the law as it is now interpreted
permits a theater manager to eject
from his house of entertainment a
patron who rises to his feet when the
national anthem is played. The GUS
tom of rising when the national an
them is played is a matter of taste
and not particularly of right It is
a most excellent practice, worthy of
emulation. 1t should be universal
In the particular case in point a
grave error of judgment was commit
ed by the theater management in
trying to put out the man who pa
triotically insisted upon standing.
Those who churlishly called upon him
to resume his seat should have been
the objects of corrective attention..

Paper BAGS for Rreastwork.

Owing to the limited supply of cot
ton in Germany the sand bags used in
constructing breastworks are now be-
ing made of specially-prepared paper,
according to the Wall Street Journal.
Experience has proved that these new
paper bags are much superior to cot
ton bags for durability, and cost less.
After cotton bags have been in use
for some time they wear out from ex-
posure and must be replaced The cot
ton bags are now being replaced by
paper bags. These new bags have
been scientifically prepared, are water
proof and may be used over and over
again, being practically indestructible.
Millions of these bags are being used
in place Of the cotton ones, which
means quite saving both in cotton
and cost.

probably with the cooperation of
Greek craftsmen. This was during the
flood tide of the Byzantine Renais-
sance, when the Eastern empire was
strong once more and revived and
even surpassed the glories Of the great
days of Justinian. Then it was that
all the arts f1ourished in CONSTANT
nople and that from it the courts and
wealthy shrines of all the West were
enriched with the priceless and superb
work of Greek goldsmiths, weavers,
embroiderers, and skilled craftsmen
of every sort. Venice, of course, inti-
mately connected with the Eastern
empire as she was, felt the impulse OF
this strong artistic life. The rebuild
ing of St. Marks in the local Italian
style by Doge Orseolo had only just
been completed. Hence it was not
there but at Torcello that the new
style made it's first notable appear
ance in the lagoons, and the sugges-
tion is at least plausible that the work
done on the cathedral in that island
stimulated the people Of Venice itself
again to overthrow and more splendid
ly rebuild the Basilica Marciana in the
form which, with later additions, it
retains today. Now also the church was
equipped with noble marble screen,
or iconostasis, and we'll carved am
bo, both thoroughly eastern in type,
whereof notable fragments remain to-
day. The six columns and four panels
between the outer pairs of the screen
are still in place, but the marble archi-
trave or beam that lay on the capitals
and doubtless supported precious
lamps and other ornaments is gone,
it's place being taken by an inferior
row of painted panels.

Gilbert Stuart.

Gilbert Stuart (1755-1S28) was born
in Narragansett, R. l., the son of
snuff-grinder. At the age of fifteen,
without any instruction whatever, he
began to paint portraits that attract
ed the attention of a young Scotch
artist named Alexander, who took him
to Scotland in 1772. In 1774 he re-
turned to America, where he re-
mained for year. He went back to
London in ITS, and for short time
he played the organ in small church
in that city. In 177S he entered the
studio of Benjamin West as a pupil,
but later set up studio of his own,
and remained working there for some
years. He came back to this country
once more in 1792, and painted many
portraits IN New York and Philadel-
phia, among them the famous "1795

Prices of Gems Soaring.

If anyone notices broad and be-
coming smile on the fair countenances
of their favorite actresses, there's a
reason. 1t is because the prices of pre-
cious stones are soaring to the sky.
Nearly every prominent stage favorite
has acquired bushel or so Of dia-
monds, rubies, emeralds and other val
liable stones. That is the reason they
are happy. Under present conditions
they are not required to go before the
footlights and sing and dance or do
whatever their speciality is. What's
the use when they can attain wealth
without effort' Diamonds are as valu-
able as war babies" The war has
sent the price of precious stones way
up and dealers say they are still soar
ing. This is because very few stones
are being imported. Then again there
has been a boost of ten to twenty per
cent in the tariff on cut stones, and an
other thing, the diamond mines in
South Africa are shut down. If you
have promised your lady friend dia-
mond ring or bauble with precious
stones you may as well be prepared to
see your bank roll fade away.

Eat Chicken for Moral Tone.

Prof. M. E. Jaffa, the nutrition ex-
pert of the University of California,
has declared that different sorts Of
food have distinct, but varying effects
upon the moral character of human
beings, the San Francisco Bulletin
states.
IF one eats chicken exclusively it
brings out the finest qualities of the
PERSONS higher nature" he said.
"The light foods, such as vegetables,
tend to make an esthetic. On the other
hand, beef brings out the quality of
savagery.
Il once knew an actor" he added,
who always ate large quantities of
beef before playing heavy tragic
role. He found the added savagery
aided in his dramatic portrayal"

Best Proof That
Resinol Heals Eczema

In our file of reports, covering a
period of twenty years, literally thou
sands of physicians tell how success
full the Resinol treatment is for eczema
and similar skin troubles. The first
use of Resinel Ointment and Resinol
Soap usually stops the itching and
burning, and they soon clear away all
trace of the eruption. No other treat
ment for the skin now before the pub
lie can show such a record of profess
sional approval.
Resinol Ointment and Resinol Soap
work scr gently, and are so absolutely
free from anything that could injure
even the tenderest skin, that they are
ideal for healing the skin troubles of
infants and children. Sold by all
druggists. (Advt.)

Torcello had lost it's Importance and

It was, however, at this time that
the little church of Santa Fosca re-
ceived the form which it still retains.
Originally it was a small three aisled
basilica, with a little apse at the end
of each aisle. For what reason and

AGE of Elephants and Parrots.

Eardley-W -Wilmot, in his Life of an
Elephant" says that these animals
live one hundred years under favor
able circumstances. R. Lydekker in
his Great and Small Game of India"
says of the Indian elephant that it's
age depends upon it's teeth.
Definite information as to the age
Of parrots is hard to find. In a work
on Parrots in Captivity one black
Madagascar specimen in the London
zoo is mentioned, which was present
ed to the society full grown in 1881,
and was still alive and well in 1884.
Several others about twenty years old
are mentioned.

Grass grows in the streets. There is
nothing going on. The only modern

Churches are Restorations.
It follows that he who would taste
the abiding and most rare charm of
Torcello must not visit it in a crowd.
He must come alone, or at most with
one or two sympathetic companions,
and he must have plenty of time to
spare, for such visions as these can
not be apprehended in few hurried
moments. They do not strike hasty
beholder; they creep into the con-
sciousness of one who yields himself
entirely to their slow, insidious pene-
tration. Neither the cathedral nor
Santa Fosca are in fact nearly so old,
in their preesnt condition, as they
seem to be. One would willingly
enough accept them as of early Chris
tian~ date, for both the basilica and
the round church are built on ancient
lines and conform to early architec-
tural forms. The first cathedral on
this spot was that built in mid-seventh
century by Altinum refugees; posi-
bly, one carved stone from that may
survive. In 864 and again in 1908 the
building was seriously dealt with, and
the first restoration amounted to a
rebuilding, though, to some extent, on
the old lines and preserving the orig
inal apse.
In the year 1908 further restora-
hon was taken in hand, this time un-

Wv they destroyed Altinum


Wv they destroyed Altinum
among other cities. The
folk of Altinum took refuge on an is
land in the lagoon and founded Tor
cello. In the pressure of those miser-
able days, when the German invaders
almost succeeded in destroying the
civilization which Greece and Rome
had slowly built up during thousand
years of wise labor, the lagoon islands
became a place of retreat for various
harried peoples, who fed to them for
shelter, as in our days so many dis
tressed Belgians have fled to Holland
and England, writes Sir Martin
Conway in Country life. That
was how Venice and Malamocco
were called into being; but Torcello
was the first of these cities Of refuge.
It was likewise for long time the
chief city of the lagoons; the first
Doge whose name is remembered had
his seat of government there.
Venice, for all it's antiquity, throbs
with contemporary life. To go from
it to Torcello is to plunge into the
past. The very transit by gondola
matches also that transition. From
