CALOMEL DYNAMITES
a SLUGGISH LIVER
Crashes Into Sour bile, Making You
Sick and You Lose n
Days Work.

Calomel salivates! 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 50-cent
bottle Of Dodson's Liver Tone, which
Is harmless vegetable substitute for
dangerous calomel. Take a spoonful
and If it doesn't start your liver and
straighten you up better and quicker
than nasty calomel and without max
inc yon sick, you just go back and
get your money.
If you take calomel to-day you'll
be sick and nauseated tomorrow; !;
besides. it may salivate you, while If
you take nodson's Liver Tone you
will wake up feeling great, full Of am
bition and ready for work or play.
It's harmless, pleasant and safe to
give to children; they like it.--Adv.

have the idea that when drafting

will not close until the navy has the

Greek Blockade Raised.

Washington, June 21.--Lifting OF
the allied blockade Of Greece was an
nounced in brief cablegram to tho
State Department to-day from Min
ister Brophers, at Athens. This Is
taken here to mean that the allies are
satisfied with tho Greek situation and
there Is no further need to apply re-
pressive or punitive measures.
Cordial cooperation between the
powers guaranteeing Greek inde-
pendence and the new Greek King,

ade originally was imposed as a re-
suit OF former King Constantine's

BLEAsE PROTESTS TO CRowDEIs
Claims His Party Is Not Represented
on Exemption Boards.
{ Greenvillc News. J

Washington, june l9,--.Cole l..
Bloase to-day flled Il formal proteAt
here against the personnel of the es-
emption boards of South Carolina
who are to pass upon the question of
who shall be conscripted for service
in the war with Germany.
The. former Governor reached hero
at II o'clock to-day with w. A.
Stuckey and at once went to the War
Department with Congressman Dom
mick, Of the Third District, and Con
gressman Sam Nichols, Of the Fourth
District. They had been provided
with the list Of the exemption board
nominations made by Governor r. l..
Manning.
Governor Blease was spokesman
for the Reform" party OF his State
and insisted that one-half the white
voters of South Carolina are identi-
fed with his party and that the list
failed to contain any Of them, except
in rare cases. He said this was parti-
sanship and that all he could do was
to lodge a formal protest and ask
that at least one member of the board
in each precinct or county, as the
case might be, come from the oppo-
sition party. Gen. Crowder gave the
delegation respectful attention and
declared that everything said would
be duly considered.

10000 WANTED TO tTtA. IA NKS
OF Regular Army week Of Jmno 23,
30 Designated Recruiting Week.

Washington, June 20.-President
Wilson issued a proclamation to-day
designating the week Of June 1880
as Recruiting Week for the regular
army, and called upon unmarried
men without dependents to enroll for
war service in order that the ranks of
the regulars might be filled promptly.
This was the Presidents first call
for volunteers in the present war.
The proclamation follows:
Proclamation by tho President.
81 hereby designate the period of
June 23 to June 80, next, as Recruit
ing Week for the regular army, and
call upon unmarried men between
the ages of Is and 40 years, who have
no dependents and who are not en-
gagged in pursuits vitally necessary to
the prosecution Of the war, to present
themselves for enlistment during the
week herein designated to the num-
Der of 10000.
(SignedD: woodrow Wilson,"
The President acted at the re-
quest Of army officials who have been
seriously concerned over the slow
rate Of recruiting for the regular
army. 1t had been hoped that the
regular service could be brought to
its whole war strength OF approxi-
mately 100000 men by July 30ths
which would have permitted the War
Department to carry out its plans in
regard to the training Of all the
forces to be raised and also as to the
dispatch Of armies to france. For
several days, however, the average
enrolment for the army per day has
been little more than 1000 men in
stead of the 5000 or more the de-
partment had hoped to secure.
To-day's recruiting bulletin shows
that since April 1, 121,363 men
have been enrolled as war volunteers
of the 1S3,898 necessary to bring the
service to war strength. The army,
therefore, Is now in the neighbor-
hood Of 10000 men short OF war
strength.

Intermittent cool waves through
out the summer and cotton crop be-

what astounding forecast Of w. P.
Houseal, the Dutch" weather
prophet. The year, he says, is to be
somewhat similar to that Of 1916,
which has been characterized as "the
year without summer" Hot nights
are essential to cotton growth and
fruitage and this will be material
factor in cutting down the crop, Mr.
Houseal says. In the forecast he en-
phasizes:
"The summer Of 1917 will be re-
membered for the greatest number of
cool nights Of any year within the
memory Of the oldest inhabitants.
Possibly not since the year 1916, the
year without summer have such
conditions prevailed. The prevailing
cool wave Is All indication Of the cool
periods that are to follow at stated
intervals during the months Of July,
August and September. Cool waves
will prevail July 1917, August 9-16,
