FRANCIS JOSEPH.

Historians will differ in placing
their estimate on the life and work
of Francis Joseph of Austria whose
death last week caused but slight
ripple among the warning nations OF
Europe.
According 10 eulogistic writer's he
WAS among the best loved OF crowned
heads OF Europe. TO his personal
popularity is given credit for hold
ing the ploygot nations together in
the dual monarchy over which he
ruled longer than any king In au-
thenticated history
There are other authorities, how
ever, whose testimony is OF a far diff
ferent character. IL comes from the
thousands who have emigrsted from
various portions of his realm to
America. They do not revere him.
They do not look upon him as ben
efactor.

given by hundreds of Slavic immi-
grants is correct Francis Joseph out
lived his generation, His reign was
that. not OF the twentieth century,
but OF the days Of barbarism. His
reign was relic OF the middle ages,
when might alone was right; when
the common people were little more
than slaves.
Nor is their testimony unsupport-
ed by authentic history, The writ
ten record OF the struggle of the ma
tions OF the Austrian Empire is suf-
ficient proof that his subjects liked
not his government. At the very out

revolt which barely missed success

GALOMEL SALIyATES AND
MAKES YOU SICK
Acts Like Dynamite on a Sluggish
Liver and You Lose a Days
Work

There is no reason why a person
should take sickening, salivating
calomel when so cents buys a large
bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone a
perfect substitute for calomen.
It is a pleasant, vegetable liquid
which will start your liver just as
surely as calomel, but it does not
make you sick and cannot salivate.
Children and grown folks can
take Dodson's Liver Tone, because
it is perfectly harmless.
Calomel is a dangerous drug. 1t
is mercury and attacks your bones.
Take a dose of nasty ealomel to-
day and you will feel weak, sick and
nauseated tomorrow. Don't lose a
days work. Take a spoonful OF
Dodson's Liver Tone instead and
you will wake up feeling great.
No more biliousness, constipation,
sluggishness, headache, coated
tongue or sour stomach. Your
druggist says if you don't find
Dodson's Liver Tone acts better
than horrible calomel your money
is waiting for you.
