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 a slug
gish liver. When calomel comes into
contact with sour bile 1t crashes into
it, causing cramping and nausea.
II you feel bilious, headachy, consti-
uated and all knocked out, just go to
your druggist and get 30 cent bottle
of Dodson's Liver Tone, which is a
harmless vegetable substitute for dan
gerous calomel. Take spoonful and
IL 1t doesn't start your liver and
straighten yon up better and quicker
than nasty calomel and without max
ing you sick, you just go back and get
your money.
II you take calomel today you'll be
sick and nauseated tomorrow; be-
sides, 1t may salivate you, while II
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 1t.

ERSKINE, IN LETTER TO
LEAGUE, APPROVES BIG
NAVY TO PROTECT COAST

WASHINGTON. March PA
letter from Albert Russell Erskine Of
South Bend, Ind, pointing out the
necessity Of a strong navy for this
country, was made public today by
the Navy league of the United States.
Mr. Erskine was invited to become
a delegate to the eleventh annual
convention of the Navy league which
is to be held in washington at the
new willard hotel, April 10 to 10,
but he will not be able to attend. In
part the letter follows:
II wish to express my sympathy
with the plan of the Navy league for
increasing our navy as quickly as
possible and without delay up to the
point recommended by the general
boards report Of July 80. 1915. The
welfare and safety Of this country
are dependent upon an adequate
navy to protect its coasts and its
territorial possessions All public
sentiment with which L am familiar
is practically unanimous that this
should be done regardless of the ex-
pense involved. What is a few bill
lion dollars to this country in its
present prosperous condition? 1t
might almost be called a bagatelle,
and the money would cheerfully and
instantly be provided by the people,
either or both through the purchase
Of bonds or the payment of in
creased taxes, If they be but given
the opportunity"

MANY AUTO MEN
ATTEND MEETING
Hear Henry H. Hover Ex-
plain Many Parts of Sleeve
Valve Motor.

Many automobile owners and au-
tomobile statesmen thronged the Oil
yer opera house Friday night. and
are today motor wise after the illus
trated lecture delivered under the
auspices of the Overland South Bend
company by Henry r. Hover, S A.
F., OF the Knight type sleeve-valve
motor. Some 1900 feet Of film were
used in the lecture.
The speaker steered clear OF
technical phrases and expressions
and instead gave his auditors a clear
cut, concise talk on the Knight
motor. This discussion. phrased in
the car owners language, brought
home to South Bend motorists many
things which they did not know.
not only about the Knight type, but
about automobile motors in gen
eral.
Mr. Hover explained all autOmo-
bile motors. analysed the cause Of
trouble. showed how it might be
avoided and told his audience how
they might put dollars IN their
pockets by taking care Of valve
troubles adjusting valves, cleaning
out carbon, etc.
His audience seemed to be par
ticularly interested in his remarks
on carbon. He said in part:
Wherever an explosion takes
place, carbon Is formed. In a pop

on the heads Of the pistons and on
the seats and on the heads of the
valves This deposit OF carbon eats
into the valves where they seat This
is known as 'pitting'. And 'pitting'
of valves Is one of the most COM
mon troubles experienced with pop
pet valve motors, for this eating
away causes leal<y compression. Car
bon, which forms so rapidly in a
poppet valve motor as to seriously
effect its operation and, therefore,
necessitates frequent cleaning, is
barely noticeable in q Knight type
motor, even after two or three years
Of service.
What little carbon does form is
beneficial. Indeed, the sleeve valves
in the Knight motor are designed to
encourage the deposits OF carbon.
To collect carbon and hold Il,
grooves are cut in the sleeves above
and below the exhaust ports. In this
way the knight sleeve valve motor
employees to advantage a factor that
in motors Of other types is a dis
advantage"
