Danger Signal.

If the fire bell should ring
would you run and stop it:or 60
and help to put out the fire? 1t is
much the same way with a cough.
A cough is a danger signal as
much as a fire bell. You should
no more try to supp ess it than
to stop fire bell when it is ring
ing, but should cure the disease
that causes the coughing. This
can nearly always be done by TAX
ing Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
Many have used it with the most
beneficial results. 1t is especially
valuable for the persistent cough
that so often follows a bad cold
an attack of the grip. Mrs.
Thomas Beeching. Andrews, Ind,
writes: "During the winter my
husband takes cold easily and
coughs and coughs. Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy is the best
medicine for breaking up these
attacks and you cannot get him
to take any other.' Obtainable
everywhere.

TRY IT! SUBSTITUTE
FOR NASTY CAL0MEL
Starts your liver without making
you sick and can not
salivate.

Every druggist in town-your drug.
gist and everybody's druggist has noticed
a great falling-off in the sale Of calomel.
They all give the same reason. Dodson's
Liver Tone is taking its place.
'Calomel is dangerous and people know
it, while Dodson's 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
bottle costs so cents, and if it fails to
give easy relief in every case of liver
sluggishness and constipation, you have
only to ask for your money back.
Dodson's Liver Tone is pleasant -tast-
ing, purely vegetable remedy, harmless
to both children and adults. Take a
spoonful at night and wake up feeling
fine; no biliousness, sick headache, acid
stomach or consipated bowels. It
doesn't grippe or cause Inconvenience all
the next day like violent calomel. Take
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.

A POLITICAL COMBINATION
ANNOUNCED.

1t is announced from New Or
leans that politicians are discuss
ing possible combination in state
politics between John NJ. Parker,
Judge Luther E. Hall and Senator
r. F. Broussard, and that John
NJ. Parker is exerting his infu-
ence to have Judge Hall appoint
ed to the vacant judgeship of the
United States District Court, for
the Western District Of Louisiana.
Referring to the subject, the
Times-Picayune says:
"When Mr.. Parker called on
the attorney geenral in the inter-
est Of the candidacy of Judge Hall
for the judgeship of the Western
District of Louisiana Senator
Broussard was present and Sena-
tor Ransdell saw the attorney
general later. It HAS leaked out
that Mr.. Parker told the attorney
general that he would accept moth
ing for himself from the national
Democratic administration. But
he made it plain that he consid-
cred his claim on President Will
son greater than that of either of
the United States senator's from
Louisiana, and he urged the ap-
p0intment Of Judge Hall strong
ly." LA. Democrat.

Get the Genuine SCOTS

without formal sanction in time
of national emergency, this meas
ure too should be carried with lit
tie opposition. as a sound and nee
essary part Of national prepared
ness.
But vigorous fight is threat
ened upon the companion railway
bill providing for full public in
vestigation of any controversy
between railways and their en-
ployes before the resort to strike
or lockout. In prassing this
measure the President faces the
opposition of the railway broth
erhoods which supported him in
the fight for the Adamson law.
And the brotherhoods may enlist
on their side other branches of
labor. The outcome of
the battle Joined upon this issue
will determine the fate of the adj

WHY A FARMER SHOULD DE-
POSIT HIS MONEY.

We have been urging farmers
70 start bank accounts. and 1t Is
interesting to see what effect TINS
system has on the business man
with whom Mr.. Farmer has deal
ines. We believe this effect IS
pretty well stated by Mr.. Hamp
Williams, a prominent Arkansas
hardware merchant, who SAID
recently:
eff. after a farmer has bought
bill of goods. he takes out ms
check book and writes me a check
for the amount | naturally place
higher estimate on him than
would if he had paid me the cash.
He conveys the idea to me that
he is a business farmer, and Il
wonder if he has considerable
money in the bank; but if he pulls
from his pocket a little greasy
wallet and takes the money from
it, l can usually size up his pile.
If he makes a mistake and pays
me too much cash, he must depend
upon my records to show the
transaction. and if my system OF
doing business is no better than
his. we can never tell. On the
other hand, if he gives a check,
the mistake is easily found. y
In this connection. too, let us
repeat that the thing to do this
fall is not to pay your debts and
then deposit the balance of your
crop money in the bank, but to
deposit all this money in the bank
and then pay your debts by
check.-The Progressive Farmer.

ministration's plan for dealing
with the momentous question
posed few months ago by the
threatened tie-up Of the nation s
transport system. Unless Con
gress creates system whereby
the public, as one Of the principal
parties at interest, may learn the
"true inwardness of these recur-
rent quarrels and throw the
weigh Of its influence to the side
having its quarrel just, the old
confusion, with its complications
menacing the public welfare and
the national interest, may be pro-
duced again and again, whenever
the disputants elect to settle their
differences by 'private war;" So
called.
The bills whose passage is now
so strongly urged are essential
parts Of the administration pro-
gram outlined during the recent
emergency. They figured among
the issues Of the presidential cam
paign. The proposals they en-
body are fair alike to the railways,
the brotherhoods and the public
whose interest and welfare have
been repeatedly ignored by both
the carriers and their organized
employees. The Presidents ap-
peal for completion, by these en-
actments. Of the program already
indorsed at the polls should have
the vigorous and resolute support
Of public opinion, in order to in
sure action at this session.-Times-

ARE YOU HELPING YOUR OLD
HCME NEIGHBORHOOD?

What are you doing, Mr.. Towns.
man, ABOUT the little church and
school you used to attend back
where you were reared? Are you
giving any money to help make
them better? Have you remem-
bered them in your will?
The wealth Of the town comes
largely from the country, and
some of it ought to go back to
support the social institutions of
the country. Of the amount that
you can give for church, charity,
and public purposes, wouldn t it
really be a good idea to set aside
10 to 25 per cent for helping coun-
try communities Or a better
plan may be to offer the country
community so much if they will
raise SO much-either to get a
modern school building, with a
community hall, or an extra
teacher, or q good school library.
or school farm. or new church
building.
Every man who owns land in a
community, whether he was reared
there or not, should also count it
a privilege and a duty to do some
thing for maintaining schools and
churches. Certainly if there were
no schools and churches there. his
land would be less valuable. so
that even from the coolest finan-
cial standpoint it is his duty to
aid these agencies add valhe to
his property-The Progressive
Farmer.

WHO WILL BENEFIT?

Let's see. Who will be bene-
flied by American Intervention in
Mexico? Will it help you any,
Mr.. WORKER? Will it make your
Job any more secure? Will it pay
off the mortgage on your homef
Will it provide you with an old
age pension? Will it make things
any easier for your wife? Will it
secure your children against fu-
ture want? Will it profit you in
any way9
No, it will do none of these.
American capitalist who own
valuable mines, oil wells and mil
lion of acres of land in Mexico
will get most of the benefits.
The private owners Of the mu-
milton plants will get the profit
and the money kings will buy the
bonds upon which your children
and their children will produce
wealth to pay.
You represent a majority of the
American people, Mr.. Worker.
Don't you think if anybody is to
be benefited it should be you and
your class? You represent the
class that will do the fighting and
the dying and the paying, but you
will get nothing out of it. If this
doesn't suit you, you know the
remedy.-Ex.

THE PRESIDENTS ADDRESS

In his address to Congress yes
terday, President Wilson confined
his discussion and recommends
tons to a few out Of the many
items on the sessions program
AS was expected, he places first
upon the schedule of urgent meas
ures the bills to complete the rail
way legislation project initiated
near the close Of the summer ses-
sion by passage of the Adamson
law. Other proposals emphasized
yesterday include enactment of a
stronger corrupt practices statute,
amendment Of Porto Rico's Or
ganic law and measures to pro-
mote vocational and industrial
education.''
Three important features Of the
railway legislation program to
which the President rightly gives
precedence - await enactment.
The first provides for reorganiza-
ton and enlargement of the In
terstate Commerce Commission. 1t
is of very great Importance that
this tribunal whose business has
made enormous growth and whose
tasks have multiplied. shall be so
organized and equipped that it
may discharge it's duties efficient
ly and without undue delay. The
bill to that already has passed the
House and with the President
Endorsement should pass the Sen
ate without serious opposition.
Another of the pending pro-
posals empowers the executive, in
case Of military necessity, to take
control of and operate such rail
way lines and equipment as may
be needed for military use, and
to draft if necessary the railway
employees and officials whose serv-
ices are required in their opera
ton. Since it merely gives formal
sanction in advance to step that
doubtless would be taken with or

Sloan's Liniment Eases Pain.

Sloan s Liniment is first thought
of mothers for bumps, bruises and
sprains that are continually hap
pening to children. It quickly
penetrates and soothes without
rubbing. Cleaner and more effec-
tive than mussy plasters or oint-
ments. For rheumatic aches,
neuralgia pain and that grippy
soreness after colds. Sloan's Lini-
ment gives prompt relief. Have
a bottle handy for bruises, strains,
sprains and all external pain. For
the thousands whose work calls
them outdoors, the pains and
aches following exposure are re-
lieved BY Sloan's Liniment. At
