Q. F. Weisiger, manager of the JEFF
ferson hotel. was given hearing be-
fore Judge ID. c. Richardson in hust
tngs court yesterday on a charge
brought by Commissioner Peters that
there was a discrepancy in the no.
tells ardent spirits report and the re-
port made by an inspector of the
prohibition department. After hear
ing the argument in the case, 1t was
dismissed
The law requires that report be
made each month by all places OF
business where liquors of any kind
are permitted for culinary purposes
This report must state how much Is
on hand, how much was used and
how much bought during the month.

showed but one kind of wine under
this head. but II was pointed out in
court that both these wines were the
same. and It was found that they were
contained In the report sworn to by

that in the cellar there was a guam
ttty OF Sherry wine that was not
shown on the managers report Tes-
timony showed that this wine was
also included under another head in
the report of the Jefferson's manage
Mr.. Weisiger included under mis-
cellaneous head number of liquors
which appeared In detail on the in
spector's report. There was testi-
mony 10 show tina: this matter had
been Strengthened out. and that the
discrepancies found in the reports
were due to- n misunderstanding of
the requirements of the prohibition
commissioners blank reports.
Another charge was placed against
the manager. in that he did not swear
to the report as required by law. He
testified that he thought he had
sworn to II. and that he had assente'l
when the clerk of the court asked hin.
IL he would subscribe to its truth.
After all the evidence was heard. the
court dismissed the case. Weisiger
was represented by Murray NJ. Nc

EVER SAL|VATED BY
CALOMEL? HORRIBLE!
Calomel is quicksilver and acts
like dynamite on
your liver.

Calomel loses you a day! You
know what calomel is. It's mer-
curry; quicksilver. Calomel is dam
gerous. 1t crashes into sour bile
like dynamite, cramping and sick
enlng you. Calomel attacks the
bones and should never be put into
your system.
When you feel bilious, sluggish,
constipated and all knocked out and
believe you need a dose of dangerous
calomel just remember that vour
druggist sells for so cents a large
bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone, which
is entirely vegetable and pleasant to
take and is perfect substitute for
calomel. 1t is guaranteed to start
your liver without stirring YOU I'D
inside, and can not salivate.
Don't take calomel! 1t makes You
sick the next day; it loses you a DAYS

ems you right up and You feel great.
Give it to the children because it is
perfectly harmless and doesn't grippe.
