AS AGENCY FOR PEACE
Women Speakers at Belasco Voice
Pleas for Internationalism.

Hyphenated Americans, to whom GER
tain politicians looked as the deciding
element in the recent Presidential cam
paign, were introduced yesterday after

the more important role of establishing
international and perpetual peace.

phena citizens are Americas most

been yen to this country by hatred
and oppression in their native coun-
tries, and calculated that through them
America will speak to the world. to the
humble and the regal, in establishing
peace"
Miss Abbott said nationalism is only
possible through internationaIism. be-
cause of which. she emphasized. 1t was
about time for the United States Ito

because our population is most interna-
tional"
The question of the settlement of the
European war was discussed by Mrs
Anna Garlin Spencer. She did not offer
any detailed plan whereby peace might
be established, but said international
we believe that the war should stop
now"
Reason. conscience, fraternal spirit
and instructive judgment" she continued,

which has made some of US wonder II
we are not living in a world of night

only sound basis for international peace
and internationalism. Those of national
feeling. of greed and of the privileged
class will never be able to decide on
peace"

of militarism were opposed by other
speakers. Prof. Emily Greene Balch ad-
vocated immediate Intervention by neutral

LIV-VER-LAX
All the Effectiveness, Not the Effect
of Calomel

or GalOmcl
| Liv-Ver-Lax is one of the most I'M
portant medical discoveries of re-
cent years. For a long time medi-
cal experts, realizing the harmful
effects of calomel, have been striv--
ing to find a liver cleaner that
would be just as effective as Gallo
mel, and yet be absolutely harmless
in its action. Recently this remedy
was actually put forth by {. K.
Grisby, in his Liv-Ver-Lax.
Liv-Ver-Lax is a harmless vege-
table compound, designed solely for
the treatment of liver complaints.
The immediate favor it has met
with in thousands of homes is proof
positive of its real value.
IF you feel worn out, tongue
coated, and skin sallow, don't delay
until it becomes dangerous, nip the
trouble in the bud with Liv-Ver-
Lax. Insist on the genuine, bearing
the signature and likeness of L. K.
Grisby, which is guaranteed to give
satisfaction or money refunded.

Starts Your Liver Without Maqina
You Sick and Can
Not Salivate

Every druggist in town-your
druggist and everybody's druggist
mas noticed a great falling-off in
the sale of calomel. They all give
the same reason. Dodson's Liver
lone is taking its place.
"Galomel is dangerous and Deo-
pie know it, while Dodsonss Liver
Tone is perfectly safe and gives
better results" said a prominent
local druggist. Dodson's Liver Tone
IS personally guaranteed by every
druggist who sells it. A large bot
tie costs SO cents, and if it fails to
give easy relief in every case. Of
liver sIuggishness and constina-
ton, you have only to ask for your
money back.
Dodson's Liver Tone is a pleas
a~nt-tasting, purely vegetable rem
edy, harmless to both children and
adults. Take a spoonful at night
and wake up feeling fine: no bill
%lousness, sick headache, acid stom-
ach or eonstipated bowels. It
doesn't grippe or cause ineonvea-
fence all the next day like violent
calomel. Take a dose of calomel
today and tomorrow YOU will feel
weak, sick and nauseated. Don't
lose a days work! Take Dodson's
Liver Tone instead and feel fine,
full of vigor and ambition.
