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

Calomel salivates. It's mercury. Call omel acts like dynamite on sluggish liver When calome1 comes into con- tact with sour bile it crashes into It, causing crampinS and nausea.
 If you feel bilious, headachy, consti- pated and all knocked out, just go 10 your druggist and get q 50-cent bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone. which Is g. harmless vegetable substitute for dau- gerous calomel. Take a spoonful and if 1t doesn't start your liver and straighten you up better and quicker than nasty calomel 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, Dodson's Liver Tone you will wake tip feeling great, full of ambition and ready for work or play. It's harmless, pleas ant and safe to give to children; they like it.--Adv.

 The previous statement of the war de- partment that it will be difficult for men within the draft age or without military experience to gain admission to the camps has resulted, officials believe. in an impression that applications from such men will not be considered. On the contrary, it is pointed out. those of demonstrated executive ability In civilian pursuits. ranging age from 25 upward. are a type earnestly desired
 General McCain's statement was given out through the public information com mittee with request that. the news papers give it prominence, because sue cess of the second camp series depends on correction of the prevailing miscon- ception It follows:
 The statement that mature men Will be given preference for the second series of officers training camps seems to have been misunderstood in some quarters. This preference will only apply where qualifications are equal There is no in- tention to bar out applications by men under 31 In fact, examining officers have been instructed to regard the ages 70 to 35 as the most suitable. There is also some misunderstanding about the neces- sty of previous military experience. The government is looking primarily for ln- telligent and forceful men and military experience, though desirable, IS not strictly necessary
 Applications for these camps will close on July 15.
 Army officials are showing some con cern over the few applications received thus far. In the New York district TOT instance, where it was expected 1O0oo or more applicants would present them selves less than 1000 have applied.
