STOP CALOMEL l QUICKSILVER
It's mercury! Attacks the bones sali-
 yates and makes you sick.

There's no reason why person should take sickening, saliyating calo- mel when 50 cents buys a large bot t'le Of Dodson's Liver Tone-a perfect substitute for calomel.
 It is a pleasant, vegetable liquid which vii start your liver just as surely as calomel, but it doesn't make you sick and can not 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 dose of nasty calomet today and you will feel weak, sick, and nauseated to- morrow. Don't lose days work. Take a spoonful of Dodson's Liver Tone instead and you will wake up feeling great. No more blllousness' constipation, slugSishness, headacAe' coated tongue or sour stomach. Your druggist says if you don't ind Dod- sons Liver Tone acts better than nor lible calomei your money is waiting for you.

WHY NOT EAT SNAILS?

The Journal of the American Med the American people don't eat snails. It emphasizes the fact that there IS no essential difference between the snail and the oyster in either taste or nutritious value. It argues that snails could be produced for the market in great quantities at small expense throughout the great mid continent area where oysters are ex- pensive and where really fresh oys- ters are almost impossible to obtain. All that is required in the Mississip- pi valley, for example, is a place where the snails can run-perhaps "crawl" is the better word-secure from attack by birds and other en- emies, and enough of their favorite food, which is easily supplied. They multiply rapidly and take up very little room
 The chief objection to snail-cul- ture is that there is scarcely any market for snails in this country. But even such market as there is, af- forded chiefly by immigrants, is sup piled from foreign sources, although American snails are said to be just as good as French snails. The enor- nous possibilities for such an in- dustry may be imagined from the fact that in Paris alone, during the snail season, the daily consumption is said to be fifty tons, or about 20O,OO0,OOO snails.
 It would be worth while for Amer jeans to try this edible gastropod, at any rate, and see whether it really is as palatable as the oyster, as Europeans maintain. It may take courage to make the test, but surely less courage than that of the tra- ditional man who ate the first oyster Why don't some of our enterprisine young Americans go into this indus try raising snails and teaching the public to eat them. There may be millions in it.

A NEW INDUSTRIAL IDEAL
 SUCCEEDS.

A certain we'll known automobile
 company announces that 1t cleared nearly sixty million dollars last year.
 It did this on five-dollar-a day minimum wage basis. How much the
 five-dollar wage added to the com pany's expenses has not been stat
 ed, but it was large sum, and in a highly competitive industry might have been expected to make all the difference between success and fail ure, observes the San Francisco Bull letin. Possibly the huge profits which actually have been madewere more or less independent of the labor pol icy. Possibly successful organizing, successful inventing, and successful advertising and marketing were larg- CT factors than the labor factor. Yet the industry did carry a generous wage policy, and it did make enorm- ous profits with it or in despite of 1t.
 Some time ago the general man. ager of this company, in magazine article, explained his ideals of a prop CT labor policy. It was, in brief, that no manufacturer had right to refnairi in business unless, in addition to his own living prdfits, he can guarantee his employees living wages, civilized hours, and decent working conditions. He found that this ideal actually worked out in his own plant. Charges of paternaism, over

COULDN'T FIND
 "CR,OCKER!LAND"

New York, Sept. 5.-Fitzhugh Green, who accompanied Donald Me Milan on the expedition in search of Crockerland, arrived here today on Q steamer from Copenhagen. He ex- pressed the belief that Crockerland does not exist. He accompanied Me Milan to the position where Lieut.. Peary claimed to have seen the land. Peary claimed that his observations showed the land to be i50 miles from Greenland, but McMillan and Green travelled 150 miles to the position in dicated and by careful sounding there decided that the :Crockerland that Peary saw was a mirage. This was further confirmed by mirage which Green and McMillan saw.

MONEY FLOWS OUT OF
 ARKANSAS TREASURY
More Than One Million Dollars With- drawn by Little Rock Banks for
 Counties of State.

Little Rock, Sept. 5.-More than enc million dollars in actual cash was paid out of the state treasury Tues day, principally on the school fund, thru local banks, to the account of the various counties. A large amount was also paid out on Confederate pen sions.
 The total amoun- apportioned for the schools was $1,315,19S.GS among 647,S61 children, or $2.03 per capita.

Mr.. Taft Naturally Annoyed.

Secretary Garrison's assertion that
Mr. Taft's criticism of the Philippine
government was mendaciously and
mischievously partisan may have been
too violent. In this matter the former
president is not necessarily partisan.
He sees a lot of ofiice-holders, all good
Republicans, out of jobs which now
are held by Filipinos, and he greves
as might father for his children.
Instead Of calling this partisanship
we should say it was affection and
philanthropy. AS the chief represen-
tative of the Republican patriarchate,
it is perfectly natural for Mr.. Taft
to mourn the lost tribes in the Philip
pines, and not only eulogize them but
say some unkind things of the Philis-
tines who have seized their Offices.
Nobody is better qualified to pro-
nounce these carpetbaggers absolute.
ly indispensable than Mr.. Taft him
self, for he appointed most Of them in
the first place. 1t is surprising that
Mr.. Garrison cannot distinguish the
difference between parental and polit-
ical anxietes.

PARTY IN QUANDARY
Republicans VainIy Seek Demo-
cratic Weak Point.
Will Find II Hard Indeed TO Institute
In Congress Selfish or Vexatious
Partisan Policy, for Good
Reasons.

There, need be no doubt that the Re-
publicans in congress are inclined to
make all the trouble they can this
winter. A mighty spirit of mischief
is upon them. How will it work out?
They want to preach calamity, but
the wonderful prosperity of the coun-
try forbids. They would like to assail
the presidents foreign policy, but they
do not dare array themselves on the
side of the prO-Germans who are do
ing the same. They are tempted to
grumble because we did not go to war
over Belgium and the Lusitania, but
are reluctant thus to enter the pro-
British camp
They are not at all cordial in their
support of plans for national defense,
and yet with all their carping they
will hardly assume responsibility for
the defeat of these measures. They
are heart and soul in favor of an old
fashioned Mark Hanna tarir1, but the
condition of foreign commerce does
not admit Of 1t and they are still in
terror of the Progressives.
Whichever way they turn in pursuit
Of selfish or vexatious partisan poll
cies they find the roads barricaded,
with danger-signals flying right and
left. In a single direction is there
an open thoroughfare and that is the
one which the administration is pur-
suing as the champion of national
honor, peace and security. 1t is going
to be easy for Republicans this win
ter to be patriotic, helpful and decent.
1t is going to be not only difficult but
ruinous for them to be anything else.
We have liking for the Republican
party with all its faults, and we should
grieve to see 1t wrecked by the false
notion that a minority must in all
cases antagonize and bedeyil the gov
ernment. This Is time when Ameri-
canism transcends all partyism, and
wise will be the politicians who ap.
preciate the fact The paramount duty
of the Republican party is to resolve
that individually and collectively its
members shall not make fools of them.
