sentative Adamson of Georgia. vice chair

Held "Abso1ute Fabrication.'

Mr.. Davidson told friends here that
the story was an absolute fabrica-
ton" To newspaper men he said he
did not wish to make a formal denial
because his house never commented on
newspaper reports. He refused to say
whether he denied the report to Presi-
dent Wilson, and White House officials
were equally silent.
Mr.. Davidson is understood to have
informed the President, with other
things, of industrial and financial con-
ditions observed during a recent visit
to Europe. His request for an inter-
view was made Friday.

CALOMEL DYNAMITES
 A SLUGGISH LIVER
Crashes Into Sour Bile, Making You Sick and You Lose
 Days Work.

Calomel salivates! It's mercury. CalomeI acts like dynamite on slug sish liver. When calomel comes into contact with sour bile if crashes into il. causing cramping and nausea.
 If you feel bilious. headachy. consti- pated and all knocked out, just go to your druggist and get a 50 cent bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone. which is a harmless vegetable substitute for dan gerous calomel. Take a spoonful and if it doesn't start your liver and straighten you up better and quicker than nasty calomel and without mak 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 10 children; they like it.

ANOTHER JOHNSTON
 NOVEL AT THE ROYAL
Pauline Fredericks Appears Today in Wonderful Char
 acter Audrey.

A dishevelled. bare-footed. radiantly happy girl, with hair streaming out be- hind her, sped madly down the course, easily outdistancing all her competi- tors. and was greeted with burst of applause as she won the race. It was Pauline Fredericks, the beautiful Famous Players star, who eschewed the role of adventures to play the title part in the adaptation of Mary Johnston's celebrated novel Audrey" adapted as a play by Harriet Ford and E. F. Boddington. which is the para mount Picture at the Royal today and Friday.
 Audrey" is distinctly different from any character which Miss Frederick has ever played on the screen before and it is interesting to note that the star herself has declared it to be the one which she has most enjoyed play ing. Unlike 'ZaZa," Bella Donna and Donna Roma in "The Eternal City" Audrey is a simple, unsophis- ticated girl of the woods who has been rescued from the Indians when a child, made the household drudge of hypo- critical minister and his wife, and is finally nearly drowned by an angry mob that believes her to be in the power of a witch.
 Though she is as innocent as a mountain breeze, the constant atten- tions of young Lord Harvard, her guardian, lead to the belief that their relations are more intimate than is the case. As a result she is publicly denounced from the pulpit, Harvard is forced to fight duel in defense of her name, and she is elected from the house in which she has so long labored as common slavey.
 Audrey" is one of the most popular books which Mary Johnston ever wrote, and everyone who has read the book will remember that it is full of action of immeasurable interest which

Six onions weighing altogether so
ounces were shown today by r. G..
Green living on the Ironton fruit tract
six miles southwest of Salem. They
were of the yellow necklace and Red
necklace variety and compare favor
ably in flavor with the famous Ber-
midas Mr. Green was not only proud
of the large size and flavor of the
onions, but has become convinced that
the soil in the Ironton tract is especi-
ally adapted for onions, although he
had been told they would not grow in
this part of Oregon. On tract 30 by
40 feet, he raised IA sacks of So pounds
each, total of Il90 pounds, or at the
rate of 572 sacks or 1880 pounds to
the acre. And while they were grow
ing, the family had all the young
onions their table required. Next year
Mr.. Green is going into the raising of
onions right as he believes there IS
money in it.
