CALOMEL DYNAM|TES
A SLUGGISH LIVER
Crashes into sour bile, making
you sick and you lose
a days work.

Calomel salivates! It's mercury.
Calomel acts like dynamite on slug
gish liver. When calomel comes into
contact with sour blefit crashes into it,
causing cramping and nausea.
If you feel bilious, headachy, eonsti-
pated and oil knocked out. just go to
your druggist and get a so cent bottle
of Dodson's Liver Tone, which is harm
less vegetable substitute for dangerous
calomel. Take spoonful and if ID
doesn't start your liver and straighten
you up better and quicker than nasty
calome1 and without making you sick,
you just go back and get your money.
If you take calomel today you'll be
sick and nauseated tomorrow; besides,
it may salivate you, while If you take
Dodson's Liver Tone you win wake up
feeling great, full Of ambition and ready
for work or play. It's harmless, pleas

LEGATION Of the Official Bulletin is
more important to the effective
conduct Of the war than is news
print for the publication Of the

upon which the public must de-

Ostensibly the action of the
president in forcing the 1nterna-

ANIMALS IN FIRE.

Most animals are affaftof FIRE,
and will fly from it in terror, To
others there is fascination about
flame, and they will walk into
it. even though tortured by the
heat, observes a writer in the Uni
ted Presbyterian.
A horse in a burning stable
goes mad with fear, but a d5SS Is
as cool in a fire as at any TIME.
He keeps his nose down to the
floor, where the air is purest. and
sets himself calmly to finding his
way out. Cats in fire cry piteous-
ly. They hide their faces from
the light ard crouch in corners.
When their rescuer lifts them
they are as rule quite docile
and subdued, never biting or
scratching.
Birds seem to be hypnotized by
fire, and keep perfectly still; even
the lonnacious pa'Sot in fire
has nothing to say. Cows. like
dogs, do not show alarm. They
IRE easy to lead forth and often
find their way out themselves

TRAVEL AFTER THE WAR.

It is Interesting in the inter
walls that we can spare from the
war news to speculate on The
vast permanent changes that the
war will make in the world-in
dustrial, commercial, financial
social. political, international, re.
1igious. Every branch of the
subject is worthy of a volume
yet there is no author who could
anticipate fully the extent OF any
one Of the impending transforma-
fions.
Let us look at one possibility
in field that does not exactly
coincide with any one of those
just mentioned. How shall we
travel in the years to come 7
Undoubtedly, all rapid transpor-
tation will be through the air.
The armies of the world have
demonstrated not only that flying
is practical and by all odds the
swiftiest means Of human loco
motion, but also that it can be
made, efficient, economical even
Tor heavy work. and also reason
ably safe.
Airmen even now make in a
few hours journeys that would
require days if they had to make |
them by rail or ship. The ma
chimes carry guns and bombs be-
sides thir human freight. They
go, and they return. Thus they
fulfill the three requisites: eff
1iciency, speed and safety. Moth
ing approaching perfection has
been reached, but there is every
reason to believe that the great
improvements are practicable and
that in the course Of time they
will be made.
PROFESSIONALLY, all the fast
mails Of the future will 60 by way
of the air. Wealthy men will
have their own flying machines.
just as they now have their au-
tomobiles, and will use them for
business journeys as well as for
pleasure. There are those-and +.
they are not dreamers--who look
forward to the time when work /
men employed in the cities may
live even a hundred miles from ]
their shops and 60 back and !
forth every day in aerial cit
neys." 1t is possible that we /,
shall attain such tremendous /,
speed in the air that before many /
years merchant may go from I
New York to London, transact ]
business there, and be bask at home /,
again in forty-eight hours.

Seven automobile loads of Birmins- ham citizens who are interested :n Warrior river developments left the
 city hall at 1 o'clock yesterday aft
 ernoon for an inspection trip of the proposed location of the government nitrate plant and the proposed route of the Valley river canal. The party was joined at Bessemer by twoscore

FULENWIDER SAYS STRIKE WOULD BE
 BAD FOR BUSINESS
Thinks Everyone Should Be Willing
 at This Time to Make His Full Share of Sacrifice

Tt seems to me as an observer of events, that if the coal miners of this district institute a strike Just now they will do themselves their community and their country an incalculable injury" remarked A. L. Fulenwider, in discussing the sit- uation which has arisen in the district.
 T am not in the mining business my self, but I do know that coal mining is the greatest sustaining industry of Birmingham and of this section of Ala bama, and that cessation of operation along that line would dull and paralyze every business interest here.
 Tt must not be forgotten that our nation is just now confronted by the most momentous crisis in it's history; and that present conditions are calling loudly for the best service of every man and woman in this land-service that means industrial activity, unity of pur- pose and patriotic devotion to our coun- try.
 While, as I say, I am not in the min ing business, I do know that the mine operators were losing money steadily and facing bankruptcy for years until d few months ago, when conditions changed for the better and not yet are the opera tors getting the full benefit of the pres ent market, for many contracts made at low prices in the period of depression have to be carried out Consequently, they have not yet recouped their losses, and common justice would suggest that they be given the opportunity to do so before having additional burdens placed upon them.
 Tt does not seem that the miners are fretful, dissatisfied or discouraged on ac- count of the wage scale, as they declare their satisfaction with the liberal com pensation voluntarily fixed for them by the operators-the highest scale ever paid in this district
 Miners, like all other classes of our citizenship, should be willing to make sacrifices for their country's good in these perilous times; and they should remember that coal is one of the prime sinews of war. To produce this commodity now is as much a patriotic service as is that service which offers sacrifice of life on the battle front. A number of us have passed the age of service as soldiers but numbers of fathers and mothers have seen their sons move to the line in obed- fence to their country's call One of my own boys is there, and I know and feel what the sacrifice means

 '"The boards are making every effort to get formal notice through the mails to every man called. but these young men should bear in mind that the responsibility for failure to appear in case they do not get their notice is upon them and no one else.
 The Birmingham Ledger has kindly agreed to publish the official lists each day as they are sent out and this should be a great help in getting word to the men in the first call. The Ledger is doing this in the same spirit in which The Age Herald printed the thousands of names of the young men of Birmingham so they could locate their red numbers quickly and easily.
