CALOMEL TODAY,
SICK TOMORROW
Dose of nasty calomel makes you
sick and you lose a
days work.

Calomel salivatesl It's mercury.
Calomel acts like dynamite on slug
gish liver. When calomel comes into
contact with sour bile it crashes into it,
causing cramping and nausea.
If you feel bilious, headachy, consti-
pated and all knocked out, just go to
your druggist and get so cent bottle
of Dodson's Liver Tone, which is a
harmless vegetable substitute for dan
gerous calomel. Take a spoonful and
if it doesn't start your liver and
straighten you up better and quicker
than nasty calomel and without making
you sick, you just BIO back and get your
money.
If you take calomel today you III be
sick and nauseated tomorrow; besides,
it may salivate you, while if you take
Dodson IS 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.-Adv.

The Winners

I don't mind man with red-blooded
kick
At real or fanciful wrong;
! stand for the chap with the crouch
If he's quick
To drop 1t when joy comes along;
l have praise for the fellow who says
what he thinks,
Though his thoughts may not fit In
with mile,
But spare me from having to mix with
the ginks
Who go through this world with a
whine.
l am waiting to listen to sinner or
saint
Who is willing to fight for his rights
And there's something sometimes In an
honest complaint
That the soul of me really delights
For kickers are useful and grouches
are wise,
For their purpose is frequently fine,
But spare me from having to mix with
the guys
Who go through this world with a
whine.

Opposed Decimal System.

Among the most determined oppo-
nents of the decimal system was, Of
course, Herbert Spencer. Some Of his
most eloquent pamphlets were written
against it. So determined, indeed, was
he that nothing he could do to prevent
it's introduction should be left undone,
that he made a permanent provision
for renewing the opposition whenever
it might be necessary. He left instruc.
lions that his famous pamphlets should
BE at once reprinted, whenever there
was any serious possibility of the au-
thorities being so far lied astray" as
to contemplate the adoption of the
system. His executors are, no doubt,
taking note of the present renewed
agitation

AN-URICl
The Newest Discovery u Chemistry.

This is a recent discovery OF Doctor
Pierce, who is head of the Inyalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute at Buffalo.
N. Y. Experiments at DR.. Pierce's
Hospital for several years proved that
there is no other eliminator of uric acid
that can be compared TO il. For those
easily recognized symptoms of infiam-
nation = as backache, scalding urine
and frequent urination, as well as sedi-
ment in the urine, or il uric acid in the
blood has caused rheumatism, it is
simply wonderful how surely ~An-uricn
acts. The best of results are ALWAYS
obtained in cases of acute rheumatism
in the joints, in gravel and govt, and
invariably the pains and stiffness which
so frequently and persistently accom-
pany the disease rapidly disappear.
Go to yonr nearest drug store and
simply ask for 50-cent package of
"An-uric" manufactured by DIR. Pierce,
or even write DR.. Pierce for "a free
sample. III you suspect kidney OF bad
der trouble, send him sample OF your
water and describe symptoms. DR..
Pierce's chemist will examine IL, then
DR.. Pierce will report to you without
fee or charge.
NOTE: - An-uricn is thirty seven
times more active than ithia in ehmi
mating uric acid, and is harmless but
reliable chemical compound that may
be safely given to children, but should
be used only by grown-ups who actually
wish to restore their kidneys TO perfect
health, by conscientiously using one
box-or more in extreme eases as
'An-uric thanks to Doctor Pierce's
achievement is by far the most perfect
kidney and bladder corrector obtain

Drift From Country to City.

Some further statistics as TO the
drift of population in this country
from the country to the city were
presented in recent census bureau
report. Figures show that this drift
has now covered a period of a cen
fury and quarter, or from 1890 to
the present time, 1890, being the year
in which the first census of popula-
ton was taken. Since that time the
drift has been practically uninterrupt-
ed. In 1890 cities were extremely
rare in this country. Only one had a
population of more than 10000. This
was New York city, which had at that
time 80, 131 inhabitants. Next came
Philadelphia with 28,5O0, and then
Boston, with 1920. In the entire
country there were only 3,929,214 peo-
ple.-Literary Digest.

AGREE TO DISCARD FOOTWEAR
Natives of the Golden State Have
Formed League Which Is Some
what Unconventional.

Harking back to the days when man
roamed carelessly across green pas
lures unshackled by costly footwear;
when cool, solid comfort met the ma
ked foot at every step, and when cOrns
and bunions were unheard of, four
prominent Sacramentans have formed
what Is to be known as the Sacra-
mento Barefoot league, says CORE
spondent.
There are four charter members of
the league, all residents of Yardley
avenue, and they are DR.. Robert b.
Smith, James Mccullough, l.. o. Lum-
ry and Steve Downey.
The league was organized in quite
an unintentional way. Which of the
four was the originator is unknown.
But 1t is intimated that Doctor Smith,
for several years advocate of the Coat
less Summer league for men, had
something to do with it.
At any rate, the league has had sew
eral meetings. The requirements of
the league are these: No member must
NC too bipbtSl " hiSbtRy his bahN hNSt'
He must be without pedal covering
In attending meetings. He must be
willing to, and enjoy, walking on his
lawn before the assembled multitude,
including his wife, unshod.
He must be willing to step into his
neighbours house in his bare feet and
walk across his neighbours hardwood
floors as nonchalantly as though he
were Pithecanthropus in the jungles
Several meetings of the league have
been held at the homes of the various
charter members of Yardley avenue
The meetings are preceded by cOol
walk upon the lawn of the host As
the evening becomes cool and members
retire to the hosts drawing room and
are entertained with monograph Sc
lections.
Despite serious objections to the
league on the part of the better halves
in some of the homes, the organization
has grown and is now reaching out fol-
congenial spirits.

your corns," is the slogan Of the

Queen Nathalie of Serbia,
Missing Since War Began,
Found Working in Hospital

The mystery of the whereabouts of
ex-Queen Nathalie of Serbia, who dis
appeared at the outbreak of the war,
was cleared up when she was discov-
cred working as common serving
woman in big hospital in Bordeaux
While investigating the medical serv-
Ice of Bordeaux, Jean de Bonnefon, a
well-known Catholic journalist, who
used to attend the court ceremonies In
Belgrade during the reign of the last
Obrenovitch, found the queen sweep
ing the hospital floors.
When the war began the queen,
whose history is the most tragic court
story known to Europe, placed her pal
ace at Biarritz in the hands of a
friend, princess Ghika, and ordered
1t converted into military hospital.
'As for me-" she added, 81 am 60
ing to efface myself. The times are
so tragic that those who were once
rulers of men must aid them in all
humility"
On the same evening Queen Nath-
allie, unattended, entrained for an I'M
known destination, and her suite had
not heard word of her since. In the
hospital where De Bonnefon found her
she volunteered her services under the
name of Nathalie Kechoko her maiden
name, and for the last two years has
performed the meanest and most ex-
hausting duties.
"When l last saw her at the Bel
grade court" writes De Bonnefon,
king Milan's widow wore blazing
diadem and looked naughty and
Queenly beauty. She was attired in
purple velvet cloak lined with ermine.
Now she wore brown Holland overalls
instead of the purple cloak"
The wounded soldiers are totally ig-
norant of her identity. They speak
gratefully of her SANITY goodness"
and her untiring efforts to aid them.
At the queens urgent request the ex-
act location of the hospital is kept Sc
cret. as she intends working incOgnito
until the end of the war.

Colds and How to Avoid

c.
cold is germ disease and its
development is favored by undue ex.
posture to cold, by fatigue, by improper
sleep, and by oyereating One should
keep away from the germs by avoiding
direct contact with persons who are
suffering with this disease and those
who are careless about coughing and
sneezing without using their haniker-
chiefs.
One must live hygienically in order
to keep the body in good condition
Hygienic living means proper food.
clothing, exercise, rest, plenty of fresh
air, and good habits generally. When
one is fatigued or worried or when
prolonged chilling or indigestion dis
turbs the system the vitality is lowered
and the way is made easy for the de
velopment of the germ Clothing
should be neither too warm nor too
cool. Too much clothing induces ex-
cessiVe perspiration, which eventually
Will cause chilling of the body.
1t is advisable to harden oneself
~ Noib, oot SuiG iiuSt bc oDSeTNtu lOl
to overdo the matter Because a little
hardening will do good it does not nee
essarlly follow that more will do bet
ter. The temperature of the living
room should never be kept so low us
to chill the occupants. Special atten-
ton should be given to keep the air IN
this room moist as the drying of the
mucous Innings of the air passages
causes them to crack and allow germs
to enter.
A cold may be contracted in spite
OF these preventive measures. Then
the body must be given chance to
cure itself. This necessitates even
more careful living. Drugs can only
remove conditions standing in the way
Of natures cure. They are all right If
prescribed by physician, but no drug

cold.
Colds should never be neglected

The University of Nebraska will this
year begin TO use It's new telescope,
which has just been completed after
seven years work. This instrument
has been constructed entirely by the
students in the university. Over 800
patterns were drafted for the different
parts and each was made in the uni
versity shops. The finished structure
is IS feet long and 20 feet wide. 1t is
equipped with fine 12-inch tense,
which was donated. The entire tele-
scope represents value Of over ST.

Lockwood stopped his Marathon he
was exactly three blocks from the 10
