POWER TO PROTECT PEOPLE
FROM GREED IS URGED
BY BRYAN

Washington, June 2l-"A Govern
ment that commanders the lives OF
its young men and calls for the mo-
ney of its older men should have
power to protect the whole people
from the greed OF an unpatriotic few"
This was William J. Bryan's state
ment today in unfolding the Admins
tration food bill now in congressional
controversy
War is not a normal condition;
it is abnormal and requires extraordi-
nary remedies" said the former Sec

rotary of State. "The farmers are
urged to increase the food products
and should be guaranteed against an
inadequate price; without such guar
antees they might be penalized for
their patriotism. The consumers.
too. deserve protection from food
spectators.
Il am not afraid to trust the Pres
ident with the powers which the. food
administration proposes to confer. He
acts in the daylight and without sell
fish interests. No president could
abuse such power"

ticed a great falling off in the sale of
calomel. They all give the same rea-
son. 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 re-
suits" 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 ev-
cry case of liver sluggishness and con-
stipation, you have only to ask for
your money back.
Dodson's Liver Tone is a pleasant
tasting, purely vegetable remedy, harm
less to both children and adults. Take
a spoonful at night and wake up feel
ing fine; no biliousness, sick headache,
acid stomach, or constipated bowels
1t dosen't grippe, or cause inconven-

Looking Backward In State
Journal Society Column
TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY


Among the society weddings to take
place before the fall will be those of Miss
Bessie Gibson TO Mr.. David Palmer of the
law firm of Gleed, Ware & Gleed; Miss
Margaret Dudley. daughter of Guilford
Dudley, to DIR. Will Walker of Philadel-
phia, Pa. formerly of Topeka; and Miss
Edith Isbell, a charming musician, to Mr.
George Stoker, graduate of the Har-
ward law school and prominent member
of the Shawnee county bar. There is an
interesting bit of romance about this
match. Miss Isbell was, until last fall, be
trothed to Justin D. BOwersock, now of
the firm of Dobsin & Mcclure of Kansas
City. Mr.. Stoker roomed at Harvard
with Mr.. Bowersock, and when the former
located at Topeka he was attentive to Miss
Isbell because of his friends relationship
to her. But Mr.. Bowersock broke the
gagement, and Mr. Stokers interest has
become serious and lasting.
These marriages, together with that of
Judge J. Il. Furry to Miss Eleanor Wilson,
and Mr.. Clifford Histed to Miss Mary Rob
erts, which took place recently, fills the list
of young attorneys who are leaving the
lonely joys of bachelorhood.
