UGH! CALOMEL MAKES
YOU DEATHLY SICK
Stop Using Dangerous Drug Before
1t Salivates You. It's
Horrible!

You're bilious, sluggish, constipated
and believe you need vile, dangerous
calomel to start your liver and clean
your bowels.
Here's my guarantee! Ask your
druggist for SO cent bottle of Dod-
sons Liver Tone and take a spoonful

and straighten you right up better
than calomel and without gripping or
making you sick 1 want you to go
back to the store and get your money.
Take calomel today and tomorrow
you will feel weak and sick and naus-
eated. Don't lose days work. Take
a spoonful Of harmless, vegetable
Dodson's Liver Tone tonight and wake
up feeling great. It's perfectly harm
less, so give it to your children any
time. 1t can't salivate, so let them eat
anything afterwards.

The United States Should
Declare War On Austria
Turkey and Bulgaria

From AN indications the question OF
declaring war on Austria Turkey and
Bulgaria viii be the leading issue M the
impending session of congress.
The anomalous position Of the United
State toward these allies of Germany
has brought out a general demand from
both public and press for formal action
which will recognize the dc facto state
Of hostihties now existing.
senator stone, chairman of tle foreign
relations committee of The senate, and
Jnues Hamilton Lewis Democratic floor
leader Of the upper house, are among
those favoring such action.
Diplomats Of the state department.
however. are inclined to hesitate and
President Wilson himself is said 70 be
undecided as TO the advisability oi eX-
tending our war declaration to Germany
nllies.
What obstruse reasons Of state intlu-
ence the attitude Of these gentlemen The
Times does not know.
But we do know that if an American
patrol met an Austrian patrol between
the trenches a bloody hght would imme-
Miately ensue
The same thing would be true in the
case Of Bulgarian or Turkish soldiers
who might come in contact with Ameri-
cans in uniform.
If an American destroyer sighted a
submarine of any one of these nations
that submarine would promptly be fired
upon.
Since this is true, and no one denies
It, why not formally recognize the ex-
istence Of war between the United States
and these hostile nations?
II is conceivable that United States
troops may have to suddenly come to
the aid Of Italy.
In that event we should be fighting
Austrian troops.
If the United States were not at war
with Austria the action would be outside
the pale of international law and any Of
our men whom the Austrians might cap
ture could not legally claim the right to
be treated as prisoners of war
Under strict Interpretation Of the law
they would be criminals subject to no
consideration whatever
But the chief reason for a declaration
of war by congress lies in the spy men
ace.
Under the present status, Austr'ans
most Of whom are heart and soul with
Germany, are allowed the same freedom
allowed to any other nationality.
There is no doubt that many Of these
nations are actually engaged in espion-
age, yet the government in dealing with
them is hampered by having to preserve
due regards for their civil rights
II is only Germnas who are enemy
aliens. and as such forfeit their right to
civil process in the courts Of the nation
An alien enemy has no rights in the
country. He is merely tolerated.
The president can prescribe his con
duct by proclamation or can summarily
arrest and imprison him.
1t is not necessary that he be charged
with a crime, the mere mandate Of the
president being sufficient authority on
which to move against him
Let Us bring the thousands Of Aus
trians, Turks and Bugarians now at large
in this country under the alien enemy
regulations in order that those among
them who are evilIy disposed may be
promptly and efficiently restrained

Charlie White Asks
for a Mitchell Match
Fight Decisions.

Charlie White, being light
weight wal1oper of skin and re-
nowns is occasionally put in the po-
sitior. Of asking for a match with
q man in his class who really
should be begging Charles for a
wallop at his chin That is because
white hits so hard that few of the
Hghtweights care to ntngle with
him even over the short routes.
Charles surmises, and correctly,
that Mitchell and he would draw
$4,000 and perhaps more into the
milwaukee Auditorium and is eager
to close such a match for a few
weeks after the Mitchell Welsh
muss next Tuesday evening. White
and Mitchell boxed once before in
milwaukee and Mitch by dint of
keeping his right glove in front of
his chin all the way managed to
stick nicely. Now that Mitchell
has developed into something of a
clouter himself White argues that a
meeting between them is right in
line. IT'S up to Tom Andrews to
get busy. White is ready. AL Tom

Kid" Herman of New Orleans, last
night became bantamweight champion
of the world, when Billy Recap of
Philadelphia, the referee brought here
by Johnny kid" williams of Balti-
more, who had held the title since
knocked out Johnny Coulon. raised the
hand OF Herman a signal of victory
at the end of twenty of the hardest
rounds of fighting seen in this old city
in many a day. Williams, in the opin-
ion of several prominent sport writer's.
had a shade the better of the battle,
but Referee Recap gave this as his tab:
Herman nine rounds.
williams eight rounds.
Three rounds even.
Herman scored two knockdowns in
the fight. the upsets coming in the fifth
and twelfth rounds These knockdowns
practically won him the championship.
It was in these rounds that Herman
showed the class that will stamp him
as champion that viii be hard to beat
in the fights that will come to him aft
or his great work last night.
williams A "Wolf Boy"
Williams was the wolf boy" Of old
in this scrap. and started right in to
wipe out what he termed the stigma on
his crown-that is, the claim of local
fans that Herman had beaten him last
year when Recap called their long
fight draw. 1t was evident from the
start that Williams was going to work
for Hermans body and right well did
he carry out this plan of battle during
the entire fight
The Baltimore Dane slammed and
banged away at Herman's midscction

raw and his sides were swollen from
