CALOMEl OYNAM|TES
A SLUGGISH LIVER
Crashes into sour bile, making
you sick and you lose
days work.

Calomel saliyates; It's mercury.
Calomel acts like dynamite on a slug
gish liver. When calomel comes into
contact with sour bile it crashes into
it, causing cramping and nausea.
If you feel bilious, headachy, con-
stipated 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 dangerous calomel. Take a spoon
full and if it doesn't start your liver
and straighten you up better and
quicker than nasty calomel and with
out making you sick, you just go
back and get your money.
If you take calomel today you'll be
sick and nauseated tomorrow; be-
sides, 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 to children; they like it,

HE'S A MOTOR FAN.

Down in Washington, D. c., DeLloyd
Thompson, aviator and motor fan, is
known as the man who played tag
with the capitol dome" While in Wash
ington recently, Thompson selected a
moonless night to give the cause of
preparedness a decided boost. Ascend
ing in his biplane, he circled the cap
itol and government buildings and
dropped lighted imitation bombs on
their roofs thus illustrating the eX-
celent opportunities open to enemy
planes in time of war. To finish the
exhibition, he looped the loop directly
over the lighted dome of the capitol

busy prosaic days of young manhood
and womanhood becomes more or less
routine, and as more mature years
come on, environment changes and
friendships are harder to make, and
transitory in their nature. The days
are made up mostly of events pertain
ing to the day, and pass with the
passing clouds. Then, when the noon
tide is reached and the twilight of life
approaches hopes of the future are
based on events passed, and if for
no other reason all can well afford
to enter into the graduation and COM
mencement exercises and by encour-
agement make the retrospect of the
young minds when they, to-, reach
the eventide of life, more pleasant.
So let everyone lend his best efforts
blended with those of .le untlring
faculty of the Ardmore High school
to make this week as link in beau
tful chain of flowers for those young
people who are so near and dear to
those who are preceding them.

BILL SUNDAY, INCORPORATED.

The incorporation of Billy Sunday
is a distinctly New York thought.
New York thinks in business terms
even Of religion and Paradise. A good
many of US have been under the I'M
preston that only the devil Was IN
corporatcd in WALL Street Populists
twenty years ago believed sin en-
tered the world through that
thoroughfarc. The Baltimore Sun sug-
scsts that if Mr.. Rockefeller and
other distinguished captains of
finance succeed in Transforming Mr..
Sunday into spiritual corporation
they will make the sovereign Of
Hadcs feel as if he were losing some
Of his best friends. To fight the devil
with fire is an old admonitipn; 10
put the power of modern business
methods behind the spirit of evan
gelism seems an adaptation of an an
cient principle of warfare.
Our contemporary further says
Sunday has been his own incorporai
tor heretofore. Now that New York
finance has taken him up, perhaps
Gospel shares will be on sale in the
stock market and Billy Sunday GER
tifcatcs will be considered better in
vestments than Standard! Oil. Great
is the conqering power of uncoln-
promising conviction.

BLEAK WINTER AT HAND.

The frigid weather of the past re"
DAYS is having it's effect and the
short and simple annals of the poor
are again attracting attention.
MANY persons. who could, it is be-
lieved, meet the exigencies of the
season. for one reason Or another, are
never prepared for the visit of the
"FTost. King" and there is more or
less suffering in every community
from improvidence. In many cases,
however, the fault cannot be placed
at the feet of the victims, as the FOL
lowing pathetic story from Richmond
will show:
4 pitifhl tale Of want" was made
known Thursday when Mrs. E. L.
Crimes, of 610 Church street, hud-
died her two little children about her
in a. shabbily furnished room OF a
freless home and told Other suffer
inps and of the children's want: The
story Of poverty she told was borne
ont in detail BY the chill Of the house.
and the frightened look of hunger on
the childrcn's faces as they CLING clos
CT to her, and she outlined the miser-
able. path that had brought the wolf
to the door.
Her husband died some years ago.
and she was left pennilcSs, in charge
of her two little girls. She went to
Richmond from their home near Ash
land and secured position in fac.
tory at IS /; week. In some way she
was able to support her children on
this amount land they were sent to
the public school. But the old story,
of a Stacking up in work deprived
her of this position, and she was left
with no source of livelihood. She
then found job at SO per week, and,
managed to live on this until prices
began to soar beyond her reach. 1t
became necessary to take her chill
dren out Of school, because their
clothes were not sufficient to permit
them to continue. Then she had to re-
linquish the So job because there was
nos one with whom she could entrust
the children while she was at work.
There was scarcely sufficient food
for a scantly meal and no fuel for
the fires, with the thermometer hang
ing at II and %. She told the caller
that when it got very cold she put
the children to bed. as that was the
only way she could keep them from
being sick.
The children, however. still have all
the faith Of childhood and hold finn
to the belief that Santa Claus will
visit them at Christmas.

VAGUE PEACE PROPOSALS
(Richmond Times-D ispaitch}

Assuming that the peace proposal
Of the Teutonic allies was made for
some other reason than its possible
political effect, chiefly on the peo-
pie of the central powers, it is in
teresting to speculate as to how much
of that reason was contributed by
changed conditions in Austria Hun
gary. Emperor Francis Joseph. was
a very old man, and therefore his
domination by the Kaiser and the
Kaiscr's astute and energetic minis
tiers was not hard to understand. The
worn, old Emperor did not have the
vigor to oppose the ambitious plans
of the most vigorous ruler in Ed-
rope.
In striking contrast with Francis
Joseph is the present Emperor, who
is very young man and who, in the
very nature Of things, is probably
filled with the fire and confidence OF
youth When he assembled the throne,
he found his empire and kingdom vir-,
tualiy under German control; the
Kaiser's representative were all
powerful at court and the Austrian
general staff was subordinated ID
the German high command. He quick
ly made important changes in the
army, replacing Archduke Frederick,
the old field marshal, with Archduke
Eugene as commander chief, and
himself assumed the direction of
foreign affairs through Prince
Hohenlohe. In these respects. at
least, he showed he was not content
with the old order. This discomfort
is now conspicuously manifested by.
the resignation Of his entire ministry,
an event which further shows he has
begun to think for himself.
He must realize that, as the war
has gone on, Austria Hungary has: :,
more and more become a German de-
tendency. He. must realize that {. if /
the War continues much longer, his
will be little more than a
German satrapy. He must realize
that. after all; and in spite:aof its
cause, this is Germanys.I
var var and that Austria Hungary can
rain SSGttle!!;: while It is losing an. I'll
may be that the Kaisers loyal a1l:%,
