CALOMEL DYNAMITES
A SLUGGISH LIVER
Crashes Into Sour Bile, Making
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.

is harmless vegetable substitute for
dangerous calomel. Take a spoon
full and if it doesn't start your liver
and straighten you up better and
quicker than nasty calomel and with

back and get your money.
If you take calomel today you'll
be sick and nauseated tomorrow;

War Upon Pain.

Pain is visitor to every home
and usually it comes quite unex-
pectedly. But you are prepared for
every emergency if you keep a small
bottle of Sloan's Liniment handy.
1t is the greatest painkiller ever dis
covered. Simply laid on the skin
no rubbing required-it drives the
pain away. 1t is really wonderful.

POTASH |NS0LUBlE,
SAYS Mr.. BROOKS.
SERIES OF EXPERIMENTS SHOW
THAT GROUND FELDSPAR GIVE
NO APPRECIABLE INCREASE.

THAT GkOOND FELDoHAH WV
NO APPRECIABLE INCREASE.
William P Brooks. of the Massa-
chusetts agricultural college, has
taken exception to a statement re-
Gently given out by w N McCrillls.a
geologist of Cambridge. in regard
to the potash deposits in the United
States. Mr. Crillis asserted that
there is plenty of potash in available
conditions is this country, as those
who read this statement in The Rec
ord will remember. MIR Brooks,
while admitting there are potash de-
posits, denies that the mineral is in
q usable condition. He has issued
the following statement. which will
be found of interest:
THE most common rocks OF New
ENGLAND are rich in potash. Mr. Nc
Crillis, however, goes on to state
that this potash is extremely cheap
and soluble. l do not deny that it is
cheap, but the fact is. Mr. McCrillis
to the contrary Notwithstanding.
that it is not soluble by natural
agencies nor is it made so to any ap-
preciable extent by the action of the
living plant.
There is, it is true, much differ
ence in soils, in respect to the guam
tity of potash which they can fur
nish to the growing plant. but there
is no doubt that the supply in the
great majority of our soils is much
below what is required to produce
satisfactory crops.
"Mr MoCrillis asserts that the
potash in our feldspathic rocks be-
comes very soluble and available for
plant life if only it be ground ex-
tremely fine. 1t happens that this
question has been tested very thor
oughly in this experiment station
over a long series Of years-l9OS to
1914. inclusive. In this series OF
experiments the use of soluble pot
ash salts gave large increases in
practically all crops. The use OF
finely ground feldspar, from which
the manufacturers claimed that the
potash was available. gave no ap-.
preciable increase.
1T was compared with soluble
potash salts in five different series
of experiments. In one it was used
in such quantity as to furnish the
same amount of potash as was con-
tained in the salts; in the second
series in quantity to furnish double
potash; in a third in quantity to
furnish three times; in fourth.
four times, and in fifth series, five
times. Even where used in the
largest quantity the fine ground
feldspar gave no increase in crop.
The yield was substantially the same
as on plots similarly treated in all
other respects, but left without pot
ash over the long series of years.
1T is certainly to be hoped that a
method will some time be found to
render the potash contained in our
feldspathic rocks available, but the
fact is, no such method which is
commercially practicable is at pres
ent known, and the New England
farmer who should depend upon fine
ground feldspar as a source of pot
ash on soils and on crops requiring
that element, would certainly be
doomed to disappointment.

SEES NO REAL CRISIS.
American Minister to Holland Il
Annoyed by Newspaper Reports.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
THE HAGUE. May 1.-THE American
minister, DIR. Henry van Dyke. was
greatly annoyed by several Washing
ton messages in American newspapers
which he received today.
IT am astonished." he said. Eat the
reports in these papers that I. sent
word to Washington last month that
l was unable to penetrate the veil Of
mystery surrounding the cause of the
alleged crisis in Holland. No such word
was sent. There is no veil of mystery.
Temporary excitement was caused by
efforts by press propagandists on each
side to make it appear that the other
side was threatening Holland, whose
position remains unchanged since the
war began.
nteiiigent people here are not ex-
cited and the measures taken to main
tain the mobilization are not extraor-
binary. That there has been no real
crisis here is proved by the fact that
the fluctuations of government stock
on the Amsterdam bourse never ex-
ceeded fraction Of per cent. Dutch
hnanciers do not act that way In Q

PR0TECTORATE IS PLAN
FOR SANTO DOMINGO
United States Forces to Attempt
Complete Reorganization Of
Native Troops.

Official admission is made that the
United States is preparing to establish
In Santo Domingo a protectorate SINH
lar to that recently inaugurated in the
neighboring republic of Haiti. A COM
plete reorganization Of the native
troops Is contemplated under the plan,
and Congress probably will be asked to
pass bill authorizing the navy and
marine officers to take charge of the
constabulary. American warships al
ready are stationed at all the important
ports. Under a treaty already in force
the United States administers the col
lection of customs for the Dominican
government.
1t was made clear at the State De-
partment today that there was no in
tention of recognizing as valid the
election of Federico H. Carvajal. chosen
provisional president of Santo Domingo
last week by the Dominican congress.

Henriquez, former foreign minister.

PROHIBITION IN DISTRICT
ADVOCATED BY BAPT|STS
Nationwide Suppression of Liquor
Traffic Also Advocated-Mob
Violence Decried.

ASHEVILLE, N c., May 23.-The
Southern Baptists' convention has
closed its 1915 session here. and the
convention, which set the high-water
mark of attendance with 2,125 regis
tered messengers. was featured by
adoption of resolutions asking a ma
tional prohibition law and urging that
the District of Columbia be made pro-
hibition territory. By another resolu-
ton it was urged that better police
protection be given to public speakers.
it being declared that ut is alarming to
note the frequency with which freedom
of speech and of press is being inter-
fered with by mobs in our cities and
towns" In these resolutions the con-
vention also expressed itself as
against mob violence by whomsoever
and against whomsoever directed"
1t is explained that the protest
against mobs interfering with speakers
had reference chiefly to mob violence
in various parts of the country against
persons lecturing on religious subjects.
Denounce Congress Bills.
In the course of debate on this subject
speakers denounced the bill pending in
Congress to make the Postmaster Gen.
eral the supreme censor of the de-
nominational and secular press" by CIV
ing him authority to refuse use of the
mails to publications attacking re-
ligions. Another bill pending in Con-
gress. which. it was declared, would
give a Judge in the District of Column
ba the right to "consign without trial"
child to any home or other institu-
ton he saw At, also came in for CEN
sure. Neither of these subjects, how
ever, was included in the resolutions.
The prohibition resolution came up
under the head of the report of a COM
mittee on prohibition and social reform,
and it's adoption put Southern Baptists
on record "unalterably opposed to

people every day. 1t completes the
vicious circle by making 1t inevitable
dustry. already the fourth greatest in
the country: will be precipitated into
politics and used for political pur-
poses by the party in power"
Other Objections Cited.
The report states other objections as
follows:
1T Is not proposed to censor the plays
or operas produced at the high-priced
theaters throughout the country. but it
is proposed to give 1--WE men at Wash
ington the absolute power to determine
beforehand what the great mass of the
American people shall be permitted to
see depicted upon the motion picture
screen. Before the national govern
ment undertakes to thus exercise the
local police power hitherto reserved to
the states, and to regulate purely local
amusements. thus stretching the i'm
piled power of the interstate commerce
clause of the federal Constitution to
the breaking point, 1t is incumbent
upon the proponents Of such legisla-
ton to show that a widespread evil ex-
lists with which the state and local
authorities are unable to cope.
AT the hearings before the commit
tee practically no real evidence was
introduced tending to show that any
significant proportion of the moving
picture films now being exhibited in
the United States are Objectionable. In
the last analysis 1t appears that what
the proponents of this legislation really
desire is to prevent the exhibition
through the agency Of the motion pic
ture film of any book or play which in
any way depicts crime or immortality, or
paints the evil side of human life. on
the ground that such scenes tend to
corrupt morals and incite to crime. 1t
Is obvious that any such test as this
would prevent the great mass of the
American people, whose limited means
will not permit them to patronize the
picted on the motion picture screen
practically all the great works of lit
erature from the beginning Of time.
Judged by any such standard most of
shakespeare's plays and even many
parts Of the Sacred Scriptures would be
barred"
